You & Ai

As you may be aware the world is speeding up and effecting the way we live and work today, and in the future. The exponential development of technology produces disruptions in markets and businesses, and Artificial Intelligence might be the single biggest technology revolution the world has ever seen. Economists call AI a 'general-purpose technology' because it is and will be involved in everything. This kind of technology causes disruption not only through direct contribution to society, but also through the spill-over effect enabling a vast range of complementary innovations, many of which you may not be aware of.

This program series is for you as an individual or as a leader- to help you better understand and navigate these changes. Curiosity is one of the key essential qualities of individual adaptability and transformational leadership, we need to observe and attempt to understand what is going on in the world, how things are changing and what the differences will be… So, you might be asking yourself these kinds of questions.

• How is AI changing the way we live and work?
• How is it changing our business and social environment?
• What are the big new dilemmas that AI brings?
• How does it change our decision-making processes?
• What kind of leaders do we need to become to manage this well?
• How do we develop our businesses towards a sustainable future?
• What are the benefits and what are the costs?
• Why should I change how I approach an AI world?

These programs are designed to help you answer these questions and more, for yourself. 'You & AI' is a series of digital and virtual programs creating an enriching and reflective experience.

Program Series Purpose

• Ignite people's curiosity around AI,
• an external change that matters
• Inspire leaders and individuals to learn and reflect more about AI
• Explore AI from different perspectives
• Reflect on implications at societal, organizational and individual level

Virtual Learning

The virtual sessions add the value of discussion, leveraging collective intelligence and the deepening of our understanding through coaching and the facilitation of collective sense-making.

Digital Learning

Through a digital platform, participants will have access to a specially curated body of knowledge and some interactive exercises to help them understand AI and its impact, developing and challenging your thinking throughout. Participants will have the opportunity to explore AI and their relationship to it, reflect and share with their peers in the online platform and be supported throughout by live professional facilitation.

Participants

Leaders and those with an interest

• Those that know that they don't know (and want to know more)
• Those that don't know that they don't know
• Maximum 20 people

AI & Business Environment

This first program of the series puts us, human beings, at the center, and focuses on how AI is changing our business environment. Starting from what we do as human beings, how our brains work, we move to the meaning of intelligence and more specifically Artificial Intelligence. We look into what AI is and how it is applied. Exploring the increasingly complex environment we live in, we reflect on the impact AI has at societal, organisational and individual level.

Objectives

• Explore how the human being works and how the modern brain has evolved
• Provide essentials on AI technologies and their applications
• Discuss the role AI has in an increasingly complex world
• Reflect on how this affects me and my environment

Topics

Human evolution:What can humans do?

Artificial Intelligence: What is it and how is it applied? What can we foresee in terms of future developments?

Complexity: Why is the world becoming more and more complex and what is the role of technology and particularly AI in it?

Impact:How can I make sense of this external change? What impact does it have on our society, our organisations and on me?

AI & Decision Making

This second program of the series aims at raising awareness and deepening understanding about how decision-making works in human beings on one side and AI on the other side. Decision-making processes are complex, and this program really wants to help individuals and leaders to make sense of the complexities of decision-making in an uncertain world and help them make wiser decisions at individual, organisation and societal, leveraging on AI.

OBJECTIVES

• Explore how the human decision-making process works
• Provide information about the AI decision making process
• Discuss fields where we are already delegating decisions to AI and where we could leverage more on AI to support us with the decision-making and where we should be mindful
• Reflect on how this affects me and my environment

TOPICS

Introduction:

What is AI and how can it support in a complex environment?

The mystery of human decision-making:

What is the nature of will and decision-making? How do we make decisions as individuals and in a system?

The mystery of AI decision-making:

How does AI learn? How is AI making decisions? How do we know what is being included and excluded in the AI decision-making process?

Human-machine collaboration:

Which decisions are we already delegating to AI? Where could we and our businesses benefit from a collaborative human-AI decision-making process?

Impact:

How can I make sense of this external change? What impact does it have on our society, our organisations and on me?

Program Series Outcome

Each of the 3 programs follows a similar blended learning format of virtual workshops and self-organised learning on the digital platform. Each program gives participants the opportunity to practice a visionary and transformational leadership mindset, improve responsiveness to external developments and develop flexibility in the face of change.

The programs are based on the exchange of ideas and the sharing of knowledge which mobilise, systemise and exploit individual and group experience to produce deep insights and long-term perspectives.

The whole reflective journey stimulates participants to ask new questions and to use and practice their capacity to think critically and to make sense of what surrounds us.

Wrap-up

Program Series Key Features

The 3 programs are purely digital & virtual and each is made up of;

• 3 x live virtual workshops
• 4 x digital self-organised learning (flip learning) modules

Both of which trigger the thinking process throughout. This facilitated process, animated by different inputs and by rigorous guidance of the group dynamics through professional facilitation, stimulates individual reflections and leverages collective intelligence during the group conversations.
