Pride with a side of AI

Happy Pride Month! Today, we’re serving up Pride with a side of AI, featuring one ServiceNow employee’s heartfelt story of embracing his true self, plus two pieces that deliver tangible insight into how AI is shaking things up in the workplace—not your average “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing” fluff. And with that Shakespeare/Faulkner reference (shout-out English majors!), we hope you find something new to chew on in this edition of The Lead Line. Dig in!

Meet Sumit: Embracing authenticity in the workplace 

The beauty of taking the road less traveled 

The heart of Pride is courage. Courage to accept yourself when you know those around you will not. Courage to forge a path you can only hope leads to a place of acceptance. Sumit is a gay Southeast Asian man who forged that path, both personally and professionally. We are humbled and excited to share his story here. Watch his video and get inspired by a man who embodies what it is to be authentic—and be authentically accepted—in life and at work. 

AI will transform legal services delivery 

A super-sexy article about AI’s impact on your legal department

OK, not everyone might find the AI/legal partnership super sexy—but we’re guessing that a few in-house lawyers reading this just broke a bit of a sweat. If you're one of them, take a second to cool down, and then check out this article on how AI can take over the repetitive inquiries that slow legal down (this is the part of lawyering that didn’t make it into Ally McBeal, and WOW are we are dating ourselves). It also gives clear guidance on how to balance caution with action, which is what we all need, right?

Let Now Assist and Microsoft Copilot show you how to put AI to work

So, we did a thing 

Like Jobs and Wozniak, Hewlett and Packard—sometimes when two things come together, they make magic. We’re not saying that the new partnership of ServiceNow’s Now Assist with Microsoft’s Copilot is going to alter the very trajectory of the tech world as we know it. But we also aren’t not going to say it. Read this article and decide for yourself.
