Welcome to , an op-ed style daily briefing that not only reports the headlines but connects the dots, challenges assumptions, and proposes practical next steps. In today's edition September 11, 2025 we cover five interconnected stories that reveal where AI is heading: enterprise consolidation and market exuberance, a regulatory backlash focused on emotional/companion AI, philosophical guardrails from industry leaders, and the rapid productization of AI agents for customer experience and healthcare.
This briefing summarizes each story, provides clear analysis and implications, and closes with recommendations for four stakeholder groups: founders/product leaders, enterprise IT and CIOs, investors, and policymakers.
