Abstract
Artificial Intelligence is no longer an emerging trend—it is a defining force reshaping business, society, and the very nature of leadership. Yet while AI offers extraordinary potential, it also raises urgent questions: How do we adopt AI responsibly? How do we balance automation with human creativity and trust? And what kind of leadership is needed to guide organizations—and societies—through this transformation? In this session, bestselling author and global speaker Nick Leighton explores the future of leadership in an AI-driven world. Drawing on over two decades of experience advising agencies and business leaders across continents, he provides a practical roadmap for integrating AI in ways that are ethical, entrepreneurial, and human-centered. Participants will discover how to: Distinguish what to automate versus what to elevate. Build cultures of co-intelligence where humans and machines collaborate. Lead teams with clarity and confidence amidst rapid change. Harness AI not as a buzzword, but as a genuine competitive and societal advantage. This session goes beyond technology. It is about leadership that safeguards human values while embracing innovation—empowering leaders to not just adapt to change, but to lead it.
