The rapid spread and impact of AI technologies create exceptional opportunities and challenges for organisations, and for the managers who lead them.
Business managers play a critical role in leveraging AI effectively and responsibly in organisations. They are responsible for tasks such as:
allocating resources to buy AI applications
envisioning the introduction of AI into organisations
translating generic guidelines for ethical AI into practice
leveraging AI solutions to:
manage employees
engage customers
monitor business processes
inform planning decisions
deciding which criteria to use to evaluate the success of AI
Future business managers need to understand the opportunities and challenges that AI technologies bring to organisations, and how to leverage AI technologies to create value responsibly.
