Atlas: How Agentic Browsers Will Transform the Working World

expert panel

The web is no longer just a destination—it’s becoming an intelligent partner. OpenAI’s introduction of Atlas, an “agentic browser” that can see, reason about and act directly on web pages, represents a paradigm shift in how people and organizations interact with information. Instead of manually searching, clicking and compiling data, users will soon be able to instruct AI to handle these tasks autonomously—transforming the browser from a viewing window into a dynamic workspace. The shift comes amid accelerating enterprise adoption of AI assistants. A 2025 report by Prialto found that 64% of executives believe AI has positively impacted their productivity. However, only 26% fully trust the AI tools they use, indicating a reliance on human oversight. Atlas promises to eliminate that friction by merging reasoning and execution directly within the browser. To understand how this evolution could redefine the digital workplace, we turned to the Senior Executive AI Think Tank—a curated group of leaders shaping machine learning, generative AI and enterprise AI adoption. Their insights reveal not just how Atlas may transform software expectations, but also how organizations can prepare for a world where browsers act as autonomous partners rather than passive tools.

The AI Model Debate: Weighing Cost, Control and Competitive Edge

expert panel

As enterprise AI adoption accelerates, so too does the complexity of choosing the right foundation. Should companies invest in proprietary platforms like GPT-4 or Claude, or build on open-source models such as Meta’s Llama or Mistral? The answer increasingly lies not in technical specs alone, but in how each option aligns with an organization’s cost structure, data governance needs and long-term innovation strategy. Recent research from McKinsey & Company underscores the growing momentum behind open systems: Over 50% of enterprises already report using open-source AI tools across their technology stack, and 76% expect to increase usage in the coming years. At the same time, proprietary platforms offer speed, reliability and white-glove scalability—often the shortest path to business impact. The trade-offs are real and consequential. To help executive decision-makers navigate these choices, we turned to members of the Senior Executive AI Think Tank—a group of enterprise AI, machine learning and innovation leaders who are shaping the way organizations operationalize artificial intelligence. In the sections below, they break down the pros and cons of each approach and offer actionable guidance on when to build, when to buy and how to orchestrate the right AI model strategy for your organization’s evolving needs.

Move Fast or Fade: How to Compete Against AI-Native Startups

expert panel

AI‑native startups are scaling faster than ever—some hitting milestones that traditional SaaS firms took years to reach. But things are starting to move even faster. A recent analysis by Stripe suggests AI startups reach $1 million in revenue in about 11.5 months compared with 15 months for the earlier top SaaS models. That velocity comes not just from better algorithms but from a fundamentally different organizational posture. Meanwhile, many legacy firms are still navigating the early stages of adoption—pilots, governance debates, technical debt struggles—and too often fall short of meaningful impact. According to Boston Consulting Group, 74% of companies struggle to derive value from AI, with just 26% achieving scale beyond proof of concept. The Senior Executive AI Think Tank brings together leaders immersed in machine learning, generative AI and enterprise AI applications. Their collective wisdom reveals that competing with AI challengers demands more than tech upgrades—it requires deep structural and cultural shifts. In this article, they explore those shifts and offer actionable strategies for traditional organizations to close the gap.

What TIME Missed: Where AI Can Make the Greatest Impact Next

expert panel

The recent release of TIME’s 2025 TIME100 AI list underscores how much attention is focused on foundation models, generative agents and consumer‑facing AI tools. Yet a closer look suggests that many powerful AI applications are still flying under the radar.  That’s where the Senior Executive AI Think Tank comes in—a curated group of experts in machine learning, generative AI and enterprise AI applications who combine technical depth with executive perspective. In this article, they use real-world insight to examine which industries and use cases are underrepresented in lists like TIME’s and explore the biggest AI frontiers that deserve attention now.

Amazon, Kiro and 'Vibe Coding': What Engineers Should Expect Now

expert panel

Earlier this year, Amazon Web Services introduced Kiro, a new agentic AI‑Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed to transform how software gets built—moving beyond prototype experimentation and toward structured, production‑grade code.  The trend of vibe coding—loosely defined as using powerful AI agents to generate code directly from intuitive prompts—has been gaining attention. At the same time, tools like Kiro are being launched to offer guardrails and structure, addressing many of the common pitfalls of rapid AI‑driven development. The Senior Executive AI Think Tank, a curated group of experts in machine learning, generative AI and enterprise AI applications, has examined what enterprises adopting AI vibe coding—and especially tools like Kiro—might mean for engineering teams and the future of product development, and offer actionable strategies for how firms can respond, adapt and lead in the next wave of AI‑augmented product development.

YouTube’s AI Crackdown: Why Platforms Must Act Now

expert panel

In July of 2025, YouTube announced significant updates to its monetization policies under the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), explicitly targeting “mass‑produced, repetitious or inauthentic” video content—much of which is enabled by generative AI tools (that even they themselves continue to roll out). The move is broadly seen in media and creator communities as a reaction both to advertiser pressure and to user frustration with what has been dubbed “AI slop”—videos that generate clicks but erode trust and engagement. The members of Senior Executive AI Think Tank—a curated group of specialists in generative AI, enterprise machine learning and content strategy—have studied the implications of this trend. With decades of applied experience across industries, members offer both caution and opportunity: While there is reason to believe YouTube’s action could be a turning point, much depends on how platforms, regulators and creators respond.
