AI and the CEO of the future
Leading a Generative AI-fueled enterprise: A CEO series
As Generative AI continues to revolutionize industries, the responsibilities and expectations of CEOs are evolving in tandem. This paper examines the future of leadership in an AI-driven world, offering a glimpse into how CEOs can leverage Generative AI to stay ahead of the curve and lead their organizations into the future. GenAI isn’t just another tool in the executive arsenal—it is a game changer that redefines leadership itself.
In the AI-driven future, the role of the CEO will evolve, presenting leaders with rational, moral, emotional, and existential challenges
To explore these shifts, we aim to immerse CEOs in the world of tomorrow through fictional narratives. Below, we present a day in the life of an imaginary CEO today, alongside a reimagined version of the same day in 2030, where the characters live in a world transformed by AI. Our intent is not to provide precise predictions or answers but to envision a plausible future and spark a debate on what it means to be a CEO and the requirements for success in this new landscape.
Disclaimer: This fictional paper is intended to provoke conversation about the AI-enabled future. At Deloitte, we believe that human and machine collaboration leads to greater value than either could produce alone.
