What Top Performers Do Differently with AI—and Why They See the Biggest Benefits

AI isn’t simply replacing sales work or automatically equalizing sales performance; it’s providing disproportionate lift to individuals and organizations that can build systems around

Generative AI has produced two competing views about which workers will benefit most. One view is that AI will narrow performance gaps by giving lower performers templates, answers, and coaching directly in their workflow. The other is that AI will widen those gaps by eliminating routine but necessary work, which will allow top performers to spend more time on higher-value activities where they already have an advantage. At the individual task level, high and low performers may both benefit, but the more important question is which effect dominates on net in real jobs, where workers perform bundles of activities. The answer matters for how firms hire, train, organize teams, and adjust practices built for their current talent mix.

For more than a century, the humble light microscope has been the frontline weapon against parasitic disease. Trained eyes peer down at blood smears and stool samples, hunting for the telltale shapes of malaria parasites, intestinal worms and other pathogens that collectively burden hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Now, a sweeping new analysis suggests
