*Leadership in the Age of AI*
Jamie Gloor
How are rapid technological advancements shaping the questions--and answers--facing leaders, academics, organizations, and society?
We explored these questions (and more) at the Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Leadership Symposium.
Keynotes from Alison Darcy uncovered how chatbots can fill critical gaps to advance (mental) healthcare, while Anna Zamansky's discoveries bridge the communication gap between animals and humans with implications for ethics and animal welfare (as well as understanding your pets! 😸) A special highlight, Dr. Miriam Meckel, shared a visionary glimpse into the future of quantum computing, unique forms of AI-human collaboration, and new business models. 🤖🦄
I presented brand new research on how AI hype is spilling over to affect leadership--and likely *all*--of our research by creating a new form of demand effects. That is, simply by alluding to an AI tool in a vignette or using an AI tool to create stimuli (e.g., videos), we might be undermining our research by adding noise.
Our fearless leaders, Fabiola H. Gerpott, Niels Van Quaquebeke, Olga Epitropaki, and Sophia Tzagaraki, once again brought together a stellar program of international scholars, enriched with Greek cultural experiences and an empowering, inclusive community. 🙏
The program focused on AI, but it is this human side--and the amazing humans who attended this event (some of whom are pictured)--who truly make the event verifiably magical! ✨
This is now my 5th Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Leadership Symposium (IPLS)--thus proving we can do good work and build a kind community, despite (or perhaps especially) in lovely locations. 💯
