This weekly update covers major developments in business automation and AI agents. Companies worldwide are moving from testing AI to actually using it in real work. Mastercard announced new rules for AI shopping through agents in apps like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, helping people buy things safely with AI assistance. In manufacturing, 98% of companies are trying AI automation, but only 20% feel ready to use it across their whole business. The big lesson this week: AI needs strong rules and clear decision-making to work well. Organizations are learning that automation must come before AI to prevent problems. In retail, AI agents will start making supply chain decisions like moving products between stores without human help, which creates new business questions. Tech companies like Fujitsu in Japan and IBM are building new platforms to help businesses manage AI automatically and keep track of what AI does. Experts warn that just having AI tools everywhere is chaos — companies that succeed will be those that organize their processes first, then add AI on top. The advertising industry is drawing a line: AI can help plan ads, but humans must approve spending money. Overall, this week shows that real AI success comes from careful planning, good records, and letting humans stay in control.
