To run it, the company hired Nadia Carlsten, who previously led Amazon Web Services’ quantum computing center and ran Denmark’s first AI supercomputer.

                 <p style="line-height:150%">
                  For years, the conversation around artificial intelligence has centred on one question: Will
                  <a data-hs-link-id="0" data-hs-link-id-v2="cfdZeVQZ" style="color:#2563eb" target="_blank">
                   AI replace jobs

                 </p>
                 <p style="line-height:150%">
                  It is the wrong question, or at least an incomplete one. The more important question is whether AI will expose the leaders, companies and operating models that were already too slow, too unclear or too dependent on outdated ways of working.
                 </p>
                 <p style="line-height:150%">
                 </p>

                   AI will not automatically replace strong leadership. But it will make weak leadership much harder to hide.
                  </span>
                  In the past, poor decision-making could be disguised behind hierarchy, process and time. A slow leader could appear thoughtful. A bloated structure could appear sophisticated. A lack of clarity could be buried inside meetings, reports and layers of approval.
                 </p>
                 <p style="line-height:150%">
                 </p>
                 <p style="line-height:150%">
                  AI compresses that space. It increases the speed at which information moves, reduces the advantage of gatekeeping knowledge and forces companies to confront a difficult truth: Many
                  <a data-hs-link-id="0" data-hs-link-id-v2="NMYKh/9A" style="color:#2563eb" target="_blank">
                   leadership problems
                  </a>
                  were never really technology problems. They were judgment problems, communication problems and design problems.
                 </p>
                 <p style="line-height:150%">

                 <p style="line-height:150%">
                  That is why the next phase of AI will not simply reward the companies that adopt it fastest. It will reward the companies that are led well enough to use it properly.

                        that matters most. Then wait for the right moment to make that point clearly and confidently, instead of weighing in on every topic. As Stephanie puts it, trying to contribute to every discussion can dilute your impact. Focusing on one key objective helps your message stand out and creates more space for others to contribute.
