"What worries me about #AI is that we've got this huge potential for summarizing information and expanding simple instruction sets but instead we’re going to use it to send more emails." https://lnkd.in/eKzzqrYq Listen to Dan Davies—Economist & Writer—as he discusses his new book, The Unaccountability Machine, with Martin Reeves on our Thinkers & Ideas #podcast.

Some believe that the rise of #AI makes human involvement in corporate decision-making obsolete. However, we argue that instead, it makes uniquely human capabilities - such as moral judgment, #imagination, or intuition - more important than ever. https://lnkd.in/eWASJH8s In their latest article, published in the Harvard Business Review, Martin Reeves, Mihnea Moldoveanu, and Adam Job, PhD suggest five imperatives for distinguishing and elevating decision-making processes by refining these often untrained, impulsive, and implicit human skills.

While the US and China have established early dominance as suppliers of #GenAI, other countries are emerging as potential “GenAI middle powers.” https://lnkd.in/ebVPVie9 In a new article, Nikolaus S. Lang, Leonid Zhukov, Ph.D, David Zuluaga Martínez, Marc Gilbert, Meenal Pore, and Etienne Cavin share key insights for how leaders can navigate the new #geopolitics of AI. They explore how Europe can make strides in building on the strengths of its member states, how Saudi Arabia and the UAE can capitalize on agile and concentrated capital to boost their #AI ecosystems, and how South Korea and Japan can build on the strong foundation of their tech sector’s R&D. The race to claim a role in the supply of GenAI is far from over.

Organizations that integrate #AI into their learning processes are not just adapting—they’re thriving. https://lnkd.in/eS_pWDvU A global survey from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and MIT Sloan Management Review found that companies leveraging #artificialintelligence to enhance #organizationallearning are significantly better at managing uncertainty and delivering measurable business results. In their latest Fortune article, François Candelon, Michael Chu, Shervin Khodabandeh, David Kiron, Namrata Rajagopal, Sam Ransbotham, and Leonid Zhukov, Ph.D explore how AI transforms the way organizations capture, synthesize, and share knowledge—unlocking faster, more accurate decision-making.

"AI is an umbrella term, so it’s very important to look into the specific applications you’re thinking of using at your company to see if there are real technical advances that power them. [���] The people who are working at your organization are best positioned to evaluating whether AI might be used to carry out their tasks." https://lnkd.in/edZ3Gann Listen to Sayash Kapoor—Center for Information Technology at Princeton University—as he discusses his new book, AI Snake Oil, with Martin Reeves on our Thinkers & Ideas #podcast.

How are leading businesses staying #resilient amidst relentless uncertainties—whether technological, regulatory, political, or workforce-related?
