Talk
Keynote Session - Leadership in the Age of AI – Between Promise and Responsibility
In his talk, Dr. Maciej Madziński will discuss the real impact of AI on business and the labor market, and then ask the question: what kind of leadership is needed to make AI an opportunity rather than a threat? At the heart of this reflection will be the new competencies of leaders – the ability to combine technological innovation with social responsibility, the courage to make difficult decisions, and the skill of building trust within organizations.
We will reflect on the new, contemporary managerial competencies and challenges that AI brings. This will be 20 minutes about a future that is not predetermined – but depends on the path leaders choose today.
