AI is a Force Multiplier – Be careful what you multiply

Businesses are investing in Artificial Intelligence (AI) at an unprecedented scale. The transformative potential of AI is too great to ignore. But so are it's costs.

This talk explores the multiplying effect AI is making and why that might be a problem. What role do we play as leaders toward this outcome? What forces can we multiply to change it?

I may be “old”, but my career has lived at the forefront of every technology wave: software, data, agility, wireless, mobile, cloud, and now AI. Each brought new opportunities and sped growth. And now?

The AI wave is different from the rest. Bigger, sure. A tsunami. But who benefits? Past waves enabled content and capability building. They provided new rungs on our career ladder. This one replaces content and capability building. It's smashing the rungs altogether.

We formed the AI Leadership Lap in 2024 to better understand the impacts of Generative AI on business and leaders. Exploring productivity to performance, design to decisions, and goals to governance, we'll discuss insights and impacts to leaders.
