BCG PRESENTS: Imagine This...: A Bot in the C-Suite?
Listen now
Description
What would you have done differently if you had anticipated the likelihood of a global pandemic or the explosion of generative AI? In BCG’s newest podcast Imagine This..., BCG’s editor in chief Paul Michelman, and his AI co-host GENE delve into disruptive scenarios that could define the coming decades. BCG experts join the conversation, probing the possibilities and implications for leaders. Human and machine work together to explore the very real actions CEOs could take today to prepare.     By 2030, the best CIO might be a CIB: a chief intelligence bot. And the human CEO might be bolstered by a swarm of CEO bots, able to harness a vast diversity of perspectives. Can you imagine? In this episode, BCG’s Mickey McManus envisions a future where top leaders share the corner office with AI—blending the logical with human intuition. Mickey, a BCG senior advisor and a pioneer in human-centered design, considers how a company like this would function. Hint: he recommends an approach much like jazz improvisation.      Learn More  You’ll find more of what BCG has to say about generative AI here:   https://on.bcg.com/3UuWtNd    GenAI on GenAI: https://link.chtbl.com/bcg-genai-on-genai?sid=IT    Also, in this episode, Mickey recommends an entirely new reading list for the C-suite, including:   Iain M.
