A Newsweek opinion piece by a consulting-firm founder argues that companies failing to fully redesign themselves around AI, rather than merely adopting AI tools, risk irrelevance, citing a Gartner survey in which roughly two-thirds of CEOs said their business model isn't fit for the AI era.
The piece holds up John Deere's AI-assisted farm equipment and Henry Ford's electricity-era assembly line as models of true reinvention versus superficial tech insertion, and warns that AI is eliminating entry-level apprenticeship work in law, engineering, and analysis.
The author, who runs an AI strategy consultancy, closes by urging leaders to challenge every assumption about their business and act before competitors do.
