## Source excerpt

If 2025 was the year of AI adoption, 2026 is when AI evolves from a software story to a people story. Katya Laviolette, our Chief People Officer, explored this idea in a recent Forbes article about how 1Password's internal network of AI Champions is shaping this evolution and helping us set the standard for how we use AI to drive impact across 1Password. AI tools help us move faster, but it takes curiosity and judgement to unlock their full value, build new ways of working, and to deliver meaningful outcomes for our teams and customers. That's why we're investing in a culture of AI fluency shaped by people across the business, brought to life through our AI Champions. Who are AI Champions at 1Password? AI Champions are internal advocates for AI adoption who guide us as we make AI fluency, security, and experimentation part of our daily work. They're critical thinkers from both technical and non-technical departments, including Product, Tech, Marketing, Go-To-Market, and Finance, who are passionate and proactive about shaping the future of AI use at 1Password and committed to helping others build that confidence too. We know the best ideas come from diverse perspectives, and because AI touches every part of the business, we seek out representation across teams and levels. Anyone on our team can apply to join the AI Champions network if they're excited to spark curiosity, build confidence, and model responsible AI use, empowering colleagues to approach AI with curiosity, critical thinking, and impact. What do AI Champions do? At the heart of the program is a simple goal: build internal AI fluency, excitement, and momentum across 1Password. AI Champions put that into practice by bringing AI learning to life in practical and useful ways across the business. They share specific use cases, contribute to AI workflow integration, and engage in peer learning through discussions, user groups, and office hours. They also play a critical role in enabling enterprise tool rollout
