AI for Business Leaders

AI for business leaders isn’t a trend to monitor, it’s a set of operational risks you can trigger fast if you don’t understand what you’re dealing with. In this video, I break down the real AI risk landscape and how leaders should think about it.

Most people talk about “AI risk” as if it’s one problem with one solution. It isn’t. Some risks come from what AI systems do by default (like hallucinations and sycophancy). Some come from what leaders and teams do with them (like sharing the wrong data, leaking IP, or over-delegating accountability). And some come from what happens when you don’t act at all (shadow AI use and skill erosion across the organization).

You’ll learn why hallucinations aren’t an edge case, they’re a certainty, and why the real danger is when someone treats an output as fact and makes a decision that only shows its damage later. We’ll also look at how AI’s “agreeable” behavior can create an echo chamber for leadership assumptions.

On the organizational side, we cover practical problems leaders regularly miss: data protection exposure, strategy and insight being absorbed into systems, deteriorating quality from over-automation, and employees using AI tools without governance or visibility.

If you want to navigate these risks without slowing down, the first step is building your own AI capability. I’ve linked my AI for Leaders Masterclass below, and I’ve also linked the companion video on the big opportunities for business leaders.
