AI won't save your business: Expert warns of dangerous illusion

Artificial intelligence offers businesses powerful tools for efficiency and decision-making, but it cannot substitute for core human leadership qualities, according to Jurgita Urbikaitė, an ambassador for change programs at Questum Training.

Urbikaitė cautions against an overreliance on AI, emphasizing that technology alone cannot replace the essential elements of leadership, human connection, and critical thinking. These human attributes remain paramount in navigating the complexities of the business world.

“

technologies can help increase efficiency and make decisions, but they will never replace leadership, human connection, and critical thinking.

For business leaders, the focus should be twofold: mastering the use of emerging AI tools and, crucially, cultivating the ability to critically evaluate the information these technologies provide. This dual approach ensures that AI serves as a valuable assistant rather than a crutch that weakens essential human judgment.

“

it is important for leaders not only to learn to use artificial intelligence tools, but also to consistently develop the ability to select valuable information.
