Gartner projects 20% of digital commerce via AI platforms by 2030.

The post argues a binary label is too broad (treats background cleanup and synthetic spokespeople as equivalent) and too unevenly enforced (external AI tools depend on self-disclosure). Introduces a three-tier materiality framework: production assistance (documentation), creative generation (creative review), representational change (claims validation and legal review). Covers asset provenance systems, approval workflow design, and the longer-term regulatory trajectory.

Covers the six outcome metrics that reveal whether AI improves work (workflow completion rate, output quality scores, rework frequency, human intervention rate, time-to-outcome, commercial impact), four governance risks (inappropriate delegation, sensitive data exposure, capability gaps, compliance risks), and the three-component measurement infrastructure (workflow instrumentation, quality evaluation, outcome attribution).
