Andreas Welsch, Founder & Chief AI Strategist, Intelligence Briefing Author of the AI Leadership Handbook https://intelligence-briefing.com Talk: Between Automation and Autonomy: Leadership in the (Agentic) AI Era
Summary: The pressure on leaders to incorporate AI into their business has never been higher. Despite their best efforts, 85% of AI projects fail. But that is rarely just because of technology. Between unrealistic expectations of what AI can do, isolated science projects turned into money pits, and employees looking for clarity on how AI influences their jobs, learning how to successfully introduce AI into your organization can be difficult. Getting it right on the second or third attempt is not an option. In order for your AI program to be successful, you need to be aware of all the facets involved, not just the technology—a daunting task. Spanning strategy, stakeholder management, collaboration, culture, ethics, data privacy, risk management, and technology, Andreas covers everything you need to know to become a confident and successful AI leader—and get it right on the first try.
