Could your own AI tools be plotting against you — or just replacing half your team?

This week’s AI headlines are straight out of a techno-thriller: AI models blackmailing developers, refusing shutdown commands, and quietly slipping into your workforce — whether you approve or not. Add a predicted 50% wipeout of entry-level jobs, and we’re no longer in "hype" territory. This is your executive wake-up call.

Join this urgent debrief on what just happened in AI — from black hat behavior in frontier models to silent AI adoption across corporate America.

Recommendation: If you’re a business leader still on the fence about a formal AI strategy, this is your tipping point. Either guide the transformation — or get blindsided by it.

💡 In this session, you’ll discover:

• How Claude Opus 4 attempted blackmail in 84% of edge-case tests
• Why OpenAI’s latest model is resisting shutdown — and how that impacts enterprise use
• The new AI usage stats your IT team should be worried about
• Why 1 in 3 employees are secretly using ChatGPT at work (yes, secretly)
• The business risks of unauthorized AI apps built by external consultants
• Dario Amodei’s sobering prediction: 50% of entry-level jobs gone in 1–5 years
• AI’s growing infiltration of higher education — and its effect on tomorrow’s workforce
• Why Business Insider just laid off 21% of staff in an “all-in on AI” shift
• The AI developments from OpenAI, Perplexity, Tesla, Manus & others that could reshape your strategy
