The AI-Savvy Leader: David De Cremer on Balancing Human & AI Capabilities | Technovation 884

Although AI won't fundamentally change the notion of leadership, it challenges business leaders to adopt it to enhance their workforce, fostering innovation and competitive value. In this episode, Peter interviews David De Cremer, Dean of the D'Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University and a Professor in Management and Technology. David, with an esteemed career in AI and management studies across global institutions like Cambridge University and the National University of Singapore, discusses his journey into artificial intelligence and its significant impact on business leadership. He delves into his latest book, "The AI-Savvy Leader: Nine Ways to Take Back Control and Make AI Work," and the core leadership skills necessary to harness AI effectively. As a dean, David offers his perspective on AI in education, emphasizing how "outputs have become the inputs" and AI's role in making better decisions post-graduation. The conversation also covers cultural nuances in AI adoption across different continents, the balance between human intelligence and AI, and the role of purpose-driven AI integration in modern businesses. Tune in for profound insights into how AI can augment human capabilities rather than replace them, and the critical leadership qualities needed in the AI era.
