Empathetic leadership in a time of AI disruption

As AI adoption races past the tipping point, empowering some and disrupting others, we are starkly reminded that even technology must begin with people.

This moment in time calls for leaders with the human skills to keep tech advancement on track while steadying the people driving this transformation. It takes vision, it takes strategy, and most importantly, it takes empathy.
