Leadership Challenges in the Age of Artificial Intelligence | Danyaal Abdul Khaliq | TEDxAURAK
• Core theme: The primary focus of Mr. Danyaal’s talk was that we need to leverage AI rather than be afraid of it. Effective leadership is crucial to ensuring that AI remains unbiased, ethical, and fair.
• Undermining risks: He cautions that overreliance on AI can erode critical thinking, deepen biases, and weaken skills if humans are not aware of the false assumptions about how AI will replace jobs.
• Call to action: Everyone should be given access to AI and technology to democratize hyper productivity. Everyone should have access to tools to create a level playing field. LLMs should be customized and refined to suit all administrative and functional needs within organizations. AI can unleash creativity to tap into human potential in ways that no one has seen before.
