Sobre este vídeo

"What if AI doesn’t replace leaders, but exposes what leadership really is? In this TEDx talk, Microsoft design leader Amit Patil reflects on leadership in the age of AI, where authority is becoming less about titles and more about responsibility, judgment, and care. Drawing from his experience designing technology used by millions, he explores how AI can help organizations become more inclusive, creative, and empowered, but only if people stop treating leadership as a position held by a few. His message is simple: in the age of AI, leadership is no longer something you wait to be given. It is something you choose to practice."
