Today, the executive boardroom looks very different from what it was 5 years ago. Earlier, the strategy meetings were based on gut feeling and historical data. Now, AI provides us with more accurate predictive analysis, risk checks and market forecasts. But, there is an oddity to this- the more we employ AI, the more we require genuine human leadership.
