Truly unlocking the value of AI is about more than new technology; it's about leadership. Now that artificial intelligence is giving employees back hours of time every day, organizations must help their workers reimagine their roles beyond routine output and start contributing in ways that AI can't.
The pressure is mounting on business leaders to harness AI to make work faster, cheaper, and more efficient. That may thrill investors, but for employees, it could mean fewer jobs around the world. At the $320 billion software giant SAP, there will likely be a need for fewer engineers to deliver the same-or even greater-output, according to the company's CFO Dominik Asam.
