## Resource

How much do we know about the way organizations are adopting agentic AI, and what it means for the human employees working alongside? Our friends at The MIT Sloan Management Review did a deep dive on these questions and several more late last year, and they found some pretty surprising things. This week, we’re going to talk about what those things might mean for companies as we continue to unpack this latest phase of agentic rollouts. We Meet: Sam Ransbotham is a professor of analytics at Boston College, the editor for the MIT Sloan Management Review AI Initiative, and the host of Me, Myself and AI . Credits: This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens. It was mixed by Garret Lang, with original music from him and Jacob Gorski. Art by Meg Marco.
