We talk about:• Why humans are better at sense-making in uncertainty than any algorithm• How empathy and judgment drive better decisions than raw data alone• Why AI can enhance leaders, but it cannot replace themBen has spent years combining cognitive science, product thinking, and leadership experience across startups and Fortune 50 companies. He shares practical insights on how leaders can use AI without losing the human intelligence that actually shapes culture, performance, and trust.
