Lesson 9: How to be a leader with AI | Ethan Mollick

The author Paulo Coelho once said, “The world is changed by your example, not your opinion.” And as generative AI begins to reshape society and work in exciting yet unpredictable ways, the need for positive models of informed, collaborative, and principled AI use (rather than grand proclamations) is becoming more evident. Leaders in particular, says Professor Ethan Mollick, have a responsibility to set the right tone. In this video lesson, he sheds light on ways to foster a collaborative environment around AI experimentation and set an example for conscientious AI deployment. Learning objectives: Encourage and model open and innovative AI use. Set realistic AI guidelines and incentives. © Freethink Media Inc., All Rights Reserved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Youtube Member Get exclusive classes and early, ad-free access to new releases without leaving Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/@bigthink/membership/ ►Become a Big Think Web Member Get the entire Big Think Class library, premium print issues, live events, and more. https://bigthink.com/membership/ ►Subscribe to Big Think on Substack Get all of your favorite Big Think content delivered to your inbox. https://bigthinkmedia.substack.com/subscribe/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Ethan Mollick: Ethan Mollick is a professor of management at Wharton, specializing in entrepreneurship and innovation.
