Why Leaders Must Choose Humanity Over Convenience In The AI Era

The surge and shift to artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace is forcing a pressing question to emerge: As a leader, how much should you rely on AI, and at what point do you risk outsourcing your humanity?
In an age where algorithms entwine with everyday decisions, leaders are beginning to face a stark imperative.
Can you utilize AI’s potential without surrendering judgment, creativity, or a leader’s core values?
Will you remember humanity?
The choices made now will determine whether AI becomes a trusted partner that enhances your organization or a disruptive force that completely undermines it.
These are the questions author and entrepreneur Faisal Hoque asks in his book Transcend: Unlocking Humanity in the Age of AI.

Hoque believes that finding the right balance between human agency and AI assistance is one of the defining leadership challenges of our time.
“A large part of human life isn’t really about the destination. It’s about the journey involved in getting there,” Hoque writes, using the metaphor of a self-driving car to question how much control we hand over to machines.
