virtual workplaces. Leaders must deal with not only difficult strategic
decisions but broader quandaries such as the nature of privacy, white collar
automation, reskilling workers, and the rule of law in cyberspace. How can
successful...
Artificial Intelligence: The Next Chapter
Michael has written about AI since the early days of primitive neural
networks. Now the rise of generative AI programs (such as ChatGPT) has
focused corporate and public attention on the technology. AI automates
many white collar tasks. AI gives robots better vision and precise control.
AI-generated video and audio challenges the search for accurate

initially bring (or not bring) to campus? What skills will they need to make
their way in an increasingly automated world? AI has enormous...

of similar individuals, warning of potential new problems as well as
suggesting the best treatment options. But how do we keep the human
element in healthcare? What...
