AI and Leadership

If you’re a leader - what are the concerns keeping you up at night regarding the rollout of your company's AI initiative?

Likely, you're figuring out how to approach your team's cognitive tension regarding AI adoption. Because you're hearing things like...
"𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩?"
"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘈𝘐 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘫𝘰𝘣?"
"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘺?"
"𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳?"

As leaders, this can be intimidating. Your impulse may be to attempt to assuage the cognitive tension by avoiding it altogether. But that will stall your initiative. 

Instead, face the AI ambivalence with your teams head-on. Research shows that talking openly about both the pros and the cons of AI is actually a catalyst (not a barrier) to adoption.
