“AI will not replace people – but people with AI will replace people without AI.”
This often quoted statement by Karim Lakhani, a professor at the Harvard Business School, aptly captures the current dynamics of the working world right on the mark.
Artificial intelligence is changing the way we work—faster and more profoundly than many organizations expect.
But one thing remains constant: It is people who use technology wisely, take responsibility, and provide guidance.
AI is changing the way we work—and creating new challenges
AI-powered tools and automated systems have long been part of everyday work life. They influence decision-making processes, communication, and collaboration—in leadership, HR, change management, and new placement alike.
This raises key questions for companies and employees:
- How can AI be used in a meaningful, safe, and responsible way?
- What skills do leaders and teams really need?
- How can we foster acceptance of new ways of working without losing sight of the human element?
AI requires not only new tools—but new skills and a clear stance.
