> strongly encouraging him and his team to make greater use of AI tools

I've seen this with other tools before. Every single time, it's because someone in the company signed a big contract to get seats, and they want to be able to show great utilization numbers to justify the expense.

AI has the added benefit of being the currently in-vogue buzzword, and any and every grant or investment sounds way better with it than without, even if it adds absolutely nothing whatsoever.
