What happens when one developer can recreate an entire software empire in two weeks? And what happens to your business when AI agents can do the work of entire teams?
The rules of business software are changing. AI can now help recreate complex applications, connect directly to enterprise data, and automate workflows that once required entire departments. Meanwhile, Google, Anthropic, Microsoft, and Meta are racing to make AI agents more powerful, accessible, and affordable.
In this week's Leveraging AI news episode, Isar Meitis breaks down the developments business leaders cannot afford to ignore. From an AI developer challenging Adobe and Microsoft to new enterprise AI agents, frontier models, escalating cybersecurity threats, and the growing impact of AI on employment, this episode connects the headlines to the decisions CEOs need to make today.
In this session, you'll discover:
How one developer used AI to recreate alternatives to Photoshop, Excel, PowerPoint, and other major applications—and why this could threaten the traditional SaaS business model.
Why businesses spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on software subscriptions should reconsider the economics of building their own tools.

Why increasingly capable AI models are creating serious new cybersecurity risks, even as they generate enormous business value.
How AI safety concerns, corporate espionage allegations, and demands for international oversight are shaping the industry's future.
What new agent protocols, AI integrations, and workplace automation capabilities mean for the next generation of business operations.
Why AI-native companies are rethinking their workforce, and how AI champions, employee training, and organizational transformation can create a competitive advantage.
