Are AI Partnerships the Future of Media? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As AI takes on more routine work, what becomes more valuable? Human creativity. @HarvardHBS Professor Caroline Elkins argues that leaders should embrace new technology while being clear about what AI does—and doesn’t—do. AI can recognize patterns, generate ideas, and increase efficiency, but that doesn’t necessarily make it creative. As AI takes over more tasks, she argues, highly creative people could become even more valuable. In this episode of Harvard Business School’s Cold Call podcast, Elk
How Can CEOs Motivate Employees to Participate in AI Innovation? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you want employees to help build and improve AI tools, give them a reason to have a stake in their success. @HarvardHBS Associate Professor Zoe Cullen explains that AI innovation can stall when employees are asked to share their expertise without clear incentives—especially when they fear the resulting technology could reduce headcount.

That question becomes especially important in fields where trust and human connection matter. @HarvardHBS Associate Professor Julian De Freitas explains that customers are sensitive to superficial uses of AI. The strongest applications offer something genuinely useful that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. In this episode of Cold Call, De Freitas and Harvard Art M
AI Wants to Agree with You. Leaders Need to Push Back. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI can be very good at giving you an answer that sounds right. But it’s not always the answer you want or need. Wade Foster, cofounder and CEO of Zapier, points to a problem leaders should keep in mind: AI models can tend toward pleasing the person asking the question, which can produce recommendations that reinforce what you already want to hear. His approach is to explicitly ask AI to debate him and critique his thinking, with the goal of turning AI into a true thought partner—one that can cha
