Fram Signature Lecture with Anshu Kak: Augmented Leadership — Critical Thinking in the Age of GenAI

Abstract: The generative AI revolution is fundamentally changing the tech landscape, demanding a radical shift in traditional day to day working, leadership and operational paradigms. Anshu Kak's talk cuts through the noise, focusing on the critical role of leaders as orchestrators of intelligent systems and facilitators of seamless human-AI collaboration. We'll explore how to navigate complexities of autonomous agents, cultivate critical thinking in the context of industry-relevant use cases, and drive informed, strategic decisions. This session empowers you, the professionals of tomorrow, to understand and navigate the agentic AI transformation. Learn how to lead effectively in an era defined by continuous AI evolution, empowering your teams and fostering AI-driven decision-making. Discover practical strategies, real-world examples, and a fresh perspective: AI isn't here to replace you, it's here to augment your capabilities. The key is understanding how to leverage it effectively.
