Leading in the Age of AI | Final of Webinar
Hosted by the Stanford Engineering Center for Global and Online Education (CGOE) in support of The Luminarian Fellowship, an initiative by INNOVERA.AI, this fireside chat and live Q&A examines how leadership must evolve in an era shaped by artificial intelligence.
AI is not just transforming products and companies. It is reshaping institutions, power, governance, and leadership itself.
This session invites leaders to step back from tactics and tools and focus on the bigger question: What does responsible, effective leadership look like when intelligence itself is being transformed?
This session will explore:
How AI is changing the nature of leadership and authority
The responsibilities leaders carry as AI reshapes society and institutions
How to balance technological progress with human values and judgment
The long-term implications of AI for organizations, education, and governance
What enduring leadership principles still matter — and which must change
You will leave with a deeper perspective on leadership, not just AI.
