Professor Stefan Michel said something that stopped me cold at the IMD Alumni Club Zürich's event earlier this week.
"AI is not valuable because it gives better answers. AI is valuable because it gives leaders more ways of seeing."
This was the opening session of their year-long "AI Impact On ..." series, and a great one about how we can reframe leadership, hands on.
His main point? Stop using AI to get answers. Start using it to generate new perspectives.
Instead of asking "What should I do?" try "Give me five different ways to frame this problem."
Prof. Michel called this "stepping out of autopilot thinking." Most of us judge before we explore. AI can interrupt that pattern if we use it consciously.
AI can teach us to ask better questions, instead of having fix answers.
I am humbled to be the next speaker, following Prof. Michel, on 26th February about "AI Impact On Humanity". Building on this session, I'll be discussing how we move from fear-based AI adoption to using AI as a true thinking partner.
Thank you Rafael Martín de Agar and the IMD Alumni Club Zurich Switzerland for the invitation.
Do you use AI to get answers, or to expand your thinking?
