The frame shift from "AI as tool" to "AI as infrastructure" is the most important strategic concept in publishing right now, and this piece synthesizes it across eight major industry reports — a useful meta-analysis. The "agentic AI" angle (systems that orchestrate other systems) is nascent but accelerating; publishers who treat AI as a bolt-on feature rather than an operational layer are already behind. Excellent high-level intelligence piece for p2preview — good for setting context before more tactical coverage. Title alone is quotable and punchy.
