In collaboration with Harvard Business Review: 

What impact will the phenomenal growth of AI ultimately have on our life and work? 

So far, that question has mostly prompted a wave of anxiety about the disappearance of jobs and the loss of humanity in our work lives. But that's a very limited perspective, leaving out a crucial point: AI has the power to transform leadership for the better. The key is in how leaders use it. 

Today’s guest speaker has conducted in-depth interviews with more than a hundred CEOs and executives across a range of industries, met with top AI experts, and completed 360-degree surveys of scores of leaders and employees worldwide. Join this session to learn how, as leaders, we can unlock a truly human experience of work while enhancing organizational performance.
