Episode 133 Leadership and the Human AI Partnership

About this episode

This episode explores the role of leadership in the relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence.

We've touched on AI in a few recent episodes, but today I want to look at it through a specific and important lens: the role of leadership in navigating the relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence.I've been spending a fair amount of time lately working through a piece of academic research published earlier this year titled Influence of Leadership on Human-AI Collaboration. It's a serious piece of work, and I want to pull out the practical heart of it for you. Because if you are leading anything — a team, a department, a family business, a church — this matters for you right now.Here is the central idea: artificial intelligence doesn't operate in a vacuum. It doesn't implement itself, govern itself, or make ethical judgments about how it is used. That is where you come in. Leadership is the critical bridge between what AI can do and what AI should do in any human context. https://bamallama.org
