AI or artificial intelligence is a revolutionary technology that has the potential to automate many daily tasks. However, it does not have a consciousness, and therefore is unable to correct for biases or use moral judgment. Therefore, while many management positions, which involve repetitive tasks and pattern-based decision-making, will likely be taken over by AI in the future, algorithms cannot replace leaders. Good leaders demonstrate empathy, creativity, strong critical thinking skills, high-level decision-making, and good moral judgment, all of which AI cannot do. Therefore, while leaders will need to cultivate a new skill set to effectively utilize AI in their organizations, AI is unlikely to replace true leaders.
