"We are entering an era that my associates and I call "the AI paradox": As more people use artificial intelligence tools, the perceived value of analytical thinking will decline. It will become increasingly difficult to differentiate products or services on the basis of unique technical superiority. All professional service firms will be able to offer world-class analytical skills. As cynical/mistrustful as people are now. they will become even more cynical about what they read and about the images they view."
"They will often feel themselves as victims...and they are. They need to work themselves out of this box. The third box would be Not Calm but Assertive. These leaders drain our attention and hog the limelight. Although unpleasant to observe, during periods of uncertainty and mistrust, they rapidly escalate up the leadership ranks. If they lack institutional power, they are merely noisy. If they have institutional power, they can be dangerous."
The AI paradox predicts that widespread AI use will reduce the perceived value of analytical thinking and erode technical differentiation. Growing cynicism will heighten the importance of perceived institutional and individual trust as the key organizational differentiator. Leadership types align on calm and assertive axes: not calm/not assertive is non-leadership; calm/not assertive traps employees at the bottom; not calm/assertive gains rapid influence and can be dangerous with power. Calm and assertive leaders are rare but drive lasting change. Calm, assertive leadership will be sought and can be modeled by figures such as Mark Carney; calm assertiveness need not be genuine.
