Leadership 

  1. Leadership in times of AI (podcast here). Inspired by the Brazilian composer Chiquinha Gonzaga, Drs. Eliott and Osera, at our AI Conversation, drove questions from: “What if future leaders don’t “lead” at all in the traditional sense, but instead become skilled at directing AI-driven intelligence like an octopus directing its arms? Are we clinging to outdated leadership models while AI is pushing us toward a more octopus-like structure? The podcast was produced using NotebookLM.
