Event Summary
For our April monthly online book discussion, SXSW Co-President Hugh Forrest will lead us in a conversation about the book "The Threshold: Leading in the Age of AI." As artificial intelligence rapidly advances, the need for individuals and organizations to adapt becomes increasingly critical. In this bold new take, author and leadership consultant Nick Chatrath interweaves the analysis of the leadership strategies that sustained us up until this point with "threshold" leadership methods developed with AI in mind. Through anecdotes and research, Chatrath demonstrates that our organizations' survival and success as individuals depend on the qualities that make us uniquely human. Join us as we discuss this candid call to action, the significance of standing at the precipice of AI superintelligence, and how we can utilize Chatrath's toolkit to reposition our companies to thrive in an AI-driven world.
