AI Won’t Just Change the Work. It Will Change What Leadership Is For
As AI moves from experimentation into the everyday flow of work, the leadership challenge is no longer simply about adoption. It is about understanding what changes when intelligent systems begin to analyse, recommend, decide and act alongside people.
This session explores a more fundamental question: if AI changes how work gets done, what does that mean for the role of the leader?
We will examine how AI is reshaping the balance between human judgement and machine intelligence, changing where leaders add value, and creating new demands around decision-making, accountability, trust and organisational capability.
Rather than focusing on generic AI skills, the session will challenge leaders to think more deeply about how roles, ways of working and leadership itself may need to be redesigned for an AI-augmented organisation.
Speakers
The AI Opportunity: What Company Leaders Want, What Tech Leaders Need
Every company wants AI advantage. But here’s the challenge: company leaders want business transformation, while tech leaders find it hard to engage the C-suite. This talk explores the gap—and how to close it. What are company leaders actually asking for in this current phase of AI adoption? And what do tech leaders need beyond technical brilliance to deliver it? Two powerful themes come together in 20 minutes.
David Tang, managing director of the Human Capital Leadership Institute, Temasek’s institute for leadership development, shares what clients really want and why tech leaders must also be smart business heads—turning technology into P&L impact.
