When embraced and used carefully, AI tools can help gain perspective and boost productivity at work.
Practically every company is making AI tools available to their employees. As the former VP of HR at Microsoft and a leadership advisor with over 50 years of business experience, I'm amazed at how quickly this rollout has progressed. Some people are all in, using the tools for nearly everything they do. Others have barely stuck their toes in the AI waters. I've been using a broad range of AI tools and encourage my clients to do the same. AI isn't without controversy, and if someone is strongly against using it — for whatever reason — I'm not going to convince them otherwise. But if you're wondering how and why you should use these tools, I'm here for you. Let's talk about three ways I advise all my executive clients to use AI effectively in the workplace.1. Use AI as a second opinionUse AI as a way to see things you might not have seen. Ask it, "What am I missing? "I agree with many that AI is lousy at most creative efforts. Whether written or visual, AI results can be generic, mediocre, and often embarrassing. The output usually deserves the "AI Slop" label it gets.

US teens can access ‘nudify’ apps despite Apple and Google’s parental controls, report finds - The Guardian
In December 2025, Morgan Dorfman received distressing news: a student at her daughter’s Pennsylvania high school was making AI-generated pornographic material using the daughter’s image. He was using an artificial intelligence image-editing app called Movely to create sexual videos from pictures of her daughter and five other girls. What Dorfman’s daughter experienced is not an anomaly: students in high schools across the US are reporting similar cases. Their classmates are generating nonconsensual pornographic or nude imagery using so-called “nudify apps”. Governments around the world have moved to ban these AI platforms from app stores, and most US states have implemented laws that criminalize possession of AI-generated child sexual abuse material. However, in spite of regulations prohibiting them, nudification apps are still proliferating and remain accessible to teens, according to a report from the digital advocacy group Tech Transparency Project (TTP) shared exclusively with the Guardian and released on Monday. TTP researchers created four test accounts, two Apple accounts and two Google accounts, indicating the account holders were 13 years old.
