The Nature of Leadership in Artificial Intelligence Environments: Reconceptualizing Human and Machine Collaboration

Shawn Gilbert Sejera | 2020

Abstract

An exploration regarding the nature of leadership in organizations that have implemented artificial intelligence technologies in an effort to improve organizational performance is presented with specific discussions about the role, process of development, identification of desired and undesired organizational attributes, and resulting leadership changes necessary for the effective application of artificial intelligence technology. This qualitative phenomenological study uses organizational leadership and artificial intelligence as the conceptual frameworks for guiding research. The critical incident technique (CIT) serves as the method for collecting observations of behavior and discovering practical solutions to complex organizational problems. Research findings may offer leaders information they can use to more effectively lead their organization’s efforts in artificial intelligence environments. Implications for further research regarding the dynamic of leadership, artificial intelligence technology, and the future of organizational leadership development are noted.
