15th. May 2025 | Leading with AI Agents:
Navigating the Future of Human-AI Leadership
As AI technology continues to evolve, it is redefining leadership as we know it. In the industrial age, leaders managed machines, but in the age of AI, leaders must guide AI systems and even allow themselves to be influenced by them.
Today’s leaders are no longer solely guiding human teams; AI agents now take on roles that shape data analysis, decision-making, and communication.
As Mark Zuckerberg predicts, “There will be more AI agents than people in the world.” Leaders must now master the art of co-leading with AI agents, balancing human intuition and ethical insight with the transformative capabilities of AI. The real challenge lies in redefining leadership to ensure that AI serves as a tool to enhance—not replace—human-driven leadership. In a rapidly evolving world where AI systems are assuming more responsibilities, this conference equips leaders with the skills to balance AI’s efficiency with human-centered leadership principles.
