Hello, AI Enthusiasts.
Your inbox deserves something smarter than leftovers.
Josh Bersin maps out how AI turns regular roles into “superworker” material. No buzzwords, just a smart story and a 4-step path to real transformation.
And yes, leadership is hard. Practicing it doesn’t have to be. AI-powered coaching tools are helping employees rehearse tricky convos and get better at judgment calls—without needing a manager breathing down their neck.
In other news, scientists can track solar patterns across decades by syncing old telescope data with new. Think: archival footage meets neural network magic.
That’s it from the AI corner—rest your mind, your inbox can wait.
Here's another crazy day in AI:
Four stages of AI at work

Are you ready to become more than just efficient—are you ready to become a Superworker?
In this newly released explainer video, global HR analyst Josh Bersin walks us through what he calls “The Age of the Superworker.” It’s a practical look at how AI is reshaping jobs—not by replacing people, but by helping them do more meaningful, higher-value work. The video introduces the four stages of AI in the workplace and outlines how employees and companies can move through these stages to unlock new levels of productivity, creativity, and impact.
This ties into Bersin’s 2025 research report, where he lays out clear priorities for business and HR leaders navigating today’s rapidly evolving work environment. His view is direct: companies that invest in helping people use AI effectively are the ones most likely to stay resilient and competitive in the years ahead.
Here’s a quick look at what’s inside:
What defines a Superworker and why this idea is gaining traction
The four stages of AI adoption in everyday work:
Stage 1: AI assists with routine tasks
Stage 2: AI automates processes within roles
Stage 3: AI operates across systems and departments
Stage 4: AI handles full workflows, while humans focus on leading, solving, and innovating
Examples across roles like HR, marketing, software, and retail
Five focus areas Bersin urges leaders to prioritize in 2025:
Reworking job and team structures
Building flexible, high-skill talent models
Strengthening culture and leadership approaches
Making HR more integrated and problem-focused
Updating tech stacks to reflect how work actually gets done
Additional materials, including Bersin’s Galileo™ assistant, learning programs, and the Irresistible 2025 leadership event
A lot of the talk around AI in the workplace has focused on what’s being lost—roles, routines, or even relevance. What this video and research do well is shift the focus toward what might actually be gained. It’s not framed as disruption for the sake of disruption—it’s about how work can evolve, and what that evolution could look like when guided with intention.
The “Superworker” isn’t a futuristic concept. It’s something many professionals are already becoming, often without realizing it—simply by pairing their expertise with tools that make space for deeper, more impactful work. The challenge isn’t whether this change is coming; it’s how thoughtfully we choose to approach it.

AI Helps Scientists Unlock Solar Secrets
/Sharmila Kuthunur, Contributing Writer, on Space
Scientists are using artificial intelligence to bridge the gap between historic and modern solar data, allowing them to study the sun’s evolution with greater accuracy. A new AI framework can translate low-quality data from older telescopes into higher-resolution images, effectively syncing decades of observations. This breakthrough lets researchers observe solar events, sunspots, and magnetic fields with renewed clarity, even from instruments that never operated at the same time. “It’s about creating a universal language to study the sun’s evolution across time,” said lead researcher Robert Jarolim.
