Business Models in the AI Era
MIT CISR anticipates that rapid advancements in AI will drive business model evolution over the next decade, and we propose that business models in the AI era will become increasingly outcome oriented and enabled by autonomous AI. In this briefing, we draw on our research from 2013 to 2025 involving 2,378 companies to describe how digital business models have developed over the last twelve years, and introduce a framework for AI-driven, real-time business models. We illustrate how companies have begun exploring these new business models with a case study of One New Zealand.

The Postman Drop: Introducing the AI Agent Builder
The AI world moves fast, and we’re now entering the era of AI agents. These sophisticated AI systems integrate reasoning and memory, enabling them to autonomously interact with tools, make decisions, execute tasks, and deliver real-time results. AI agents will play an increasingly central role in how organizations operate, which Abhinav Asthana, our co-founder and CEO, discussed in a recent blog post. But systems this powerful are extremely challenging to build—especially without a unified solut...
After automation: Software will work for you, not on you
Alex Komoroske, CEO and cofounder, Common Tools — AI promises “infinite software”—endless tools tailored to every need—but funneled through today's app stores, that abundance just means more silos, more trapped data, and more to orchestr...

Business Insider
Business Insider sees AI as a valuable tool. Newsroom staff may employ approved AI tools to assist with drafting, transcription, research, data analysis, fact-checking, and more. There is always human oversight when our journalists use AI, and they are responsible for the accuracy, fairness, originality, and overall quality of everything we publish. We also use AI for some automated products without human oversight, such as our search tool and audio briefing. We transparently label any products or content fully generated by AI. The technology, industry standards, and the law around AI are all evolving, and our thinking on this may evolve over time.
