Jeremy Utley

In this groundbreaking session, Stanford Adjunct Professor Jeremy Utley (a Thinkers50 Top Ten Innovation Leader for 2023) introduces audiences to AI as they have yet to know it: a relationship. Utley challenges the conventional AI-as-oracle mindset and encourages professionals to embrace AI as a collaborative thought partner. Drawing on groundbreaking research featured by Harvard Business Review, Utley demonstrates why AI-assisted teams often underperform — due to predictable and preventable human bias — and how teams can unlock AI’s full potential for innovation. Leveraging interactive exercises, participants will gain personal realizations and build confidence to spearhead meaningful organizational change. Participants will be equipped with both strategic frameworks and the practical know-how and credibility to be a convincing changemaker in their organizations. Transform your understanding of AI from a mere tool to a catalyst for behavioral and cultural transformation in this deeply insightful and empowering session.
