AI wears many hats at work, whether it’s a brainstorm partner, mentor, or doing the actual work itself. However, it’s time to add a new one to the list: spy. In a recent episode of the “All-In” podcast, Salesforce CEO, Marc Benioff, said he was using AI to analyze employee slack messages to understand what they’re complaining about. (Salesforce acquired Slack in 2021.)“Because you run your company on Slack, all your DMs, all your channels, we’re reading that now through the AI and we can tell you more about your business than you know,” Benioff explained. “Slackbot is reading stuff…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Colossal founder Ben Lamm and the broader Colossal team have announced a major breakthrough for the development of artificial eggs designed to help restore extinct bird species through a completely re-imagined and engineered egg system. For the company that brought back dire wolves in 2025, this latest achievement marks its eighth major scientific milestone in the past year. Combined with the pace of innovation emerging from Colossal and its spinout companies, it raises a compelling question: What is this team doing differently from everyone else? “Every new scalable system for de-extinction is ultimately a biology problem wrapped in an engineering problem.

Key Takeaways The tech company says it doesn’t want to punish users for using AI tools — only for posting low-value content that lacks original insight, expertise, or perspective. The platform is using “AI solving AI” systems to detect generic posts, bot comments, and engagement bait. Posts flagged as low-quality likely won’t be removed, but the platform may suppress their distribution so they don’t spread far beyond a user’s immediate network.

Lululemon has stopped saying namaste to the man who started it all. The $11 billion yoga-inspired, athleticwear company called founder Chip Wilson “misguided” and “outdated” in a shareholder letter released Monday, urging investors to reject his three board nominees ahead of the June 25 annual meeting.

Lululemon had offered to appoint two of his nominees, but Wilson wanted more control, according to CNBC. Wilson, who owns nearly 9% of the company, has been attacking Lululemon’s leadership for…

Boards everywhere are saying “we need AI agents.” That pressure moves down the organization fast. Teams build a pilot and achieve good results in a sandbox. Then they try to put it in production and everything slows down. Usually, the model performed fine. What was missing was what surrounded it—monitoring, ownership, a plan for when things go wrong. I’ve been shipping software in regulated industries for 20 years. In those industries, when something hallucinates, planes don’t fly or money doesn’t move. So you learn to care about the process more than the tools, and realize that the model is the…

Taco Bell CEO Sean Tresvant spent 15 years at Nike, and now he’s bringing the fast-food chain a marketing trick he learned from the sneaker giant: product drops.

Now other chains are dropping their own versions left and right, according to Restaurant Business. Wendy’s just added Rewards Drops featuring limited-edition swag every Wednesday. Chipotle reintroduced monthly…
