Will AI make us better leaders?

From decision making and analysis to personalisation and time-saving, there are articles being published daily that describe AI as the next best thing in leadership.

AI certainly offers astonishing potential, but are these ‘enhanced leaders’ – those capable of harnessing AI power - really going to improve their performance? What about other leaders, our teams and the complex relationships between people in and around the organisation?

In this talk, Stephen looks back to the origin of current practice and the importance of context in human interactions to find out. With AI capability accelerating exponentially, this is essential discussion.
