Summary
Box CEO Aaron Levie just dropped a mic on AI hype, calling it “AI psychosis” — not because AI is bad, but because CEOs are chasing it without using it themselves. He’s urging leaders to get hands-on with AI tools, not just watch PowerPoint slides. This sentiment is gaining traction as college grads boo AI pitches, DuckDuckGo surges past Google, and workers grow weary of tech layoffs. Big players like Google are stuck in a trap — forced to chase AI to stay relevant, even if it alienates users. Meanwhile, startups are seizing the moment, offering simpler, more focused AI solutions. The real question? Is this AI revolution being driven by top-down ambition or bottom-up demand? Levie argues that unless you’re actually doing the work, you can’t truly grasp its impact — and that’s why real change starts with real use.
