Interview with an AI The Limits of Intelligence Without Empathy

This is a live interview with an AI—designed to be practical, not gimmicky. We start where AI is strong (analysis, structure, optimization) and move into the moments where leaders can’t outsource responsibility: tradeoffs, ethics, accountability, and human impact.

Key takeaway

AI can accelerate your thinking—but it can’t carry your accountability. Leaders still own the tradeoffs.

Why this format works

Most AI talks are either hype or fear. This session avoids both. It uses a live interview to make the boundary clear: AI is a tool for insight—humans are responsible for outcomes.

What we cover

Round 1 — Where AI shines

  • Summarizing complexity
  • Finding patterns
  • Drafting options fast

Round 2 — Where leaders must step in

  • Judgment and tradeoffs
  • Ethics and consequences
  • Accountability under pressure

Audience outcomes

  • A clean mental model for when to use AI and when not to.
  • How to avoid authority drift (“the model said so”).
  • Practical prompts and guardrails teams can adopt immediately.
  • A leadership stance that keeps AI helpful without becoming reckless.

Format options

60-minute session

Live interview + Q&A with audience scenarios.

Why I can teach this

  • Enterprise program leadership: complex systems, high stakes, real constraints.
  • Accessibility leadership: translating standards into operational delivery behavior.
  • Practical AI usage: using AI to accelerate work while keeping humans accountable.
