Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we understand reality, interact with information and guide our decisions. In this context, what defines the distinct value of human contribution becomes even more evident: the ability to create meaning, envision scenarios, interpret situations and take responsibility for choices.

It is precisely in the integration between artificial intelligence and human thinking that a crucial challenge for leadership is emerging. This is not simply about adopting new technologies, but about understanding how they are redefining the role of judgment, accountability and sense-making within decision-making processes. This session explores this complementarity, highlighting the implications and the capabilities required to exercise a conscious and effective leadership role in increasingly data- and algorithm-driven environments.

During this session, participants will have the opportunity to:

• hear from Chiara Valerio, who will provide a cultural and critical perspective on the meaning of human thought in the age of algorithms, reflecting on the relationship between language, knowledge and emerging forms of artificial intelligence
• explore, with Chiara Bacilieri, how the human brain responds to AI stimuli and why psychological mechanisms and human capabilities remain central in decision-making within complex technological environments
• engage with Cristiano Boscato’s perspective, offering a broad view of the role of AI in decision-making and collaborative processes, and exploring how technologies are transforming how organizations share knowledge, work together and create value
