What happened

It seems every company is obsessed with artificial intelligence these days, whether it's how the technology is transforming their industry or its effects on employees and customers.

Why it matters

But the degree to which companies are using AI tools internally and adapting to a rapidly changing reality varies dramatically.

Common ground

A new study from AI-Driven Enterprise Institute, or AIDE, breaks down the extent to which S&P 500 companies — and their leaders — are adopting AI compared with their peers.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
