While the benefits of AI are substantial, its rapid integration also raises concerns about potential risks and challenges[50]. These include:

Job displacement: Some jobs will be lost, and others will be created. Every job will be affected[336].
Misuse of AI: The misuse of AI, whether inadvertent or otherwise, poses risks that need to be addressed[50].

To mitigate these risks, thoughtful and calculated leadership can foster trepidation and respect, leading to mutually assured deterrence[8]. Ensuring AI is programmed with good values, especially truth seeking values, is essential for AI safety[65].

Companies that are proactive in adopting and adapting to AI are more likely to harness its benefits successfully[336]. Understanding how to effectively use AI is becoming a fundamental expectation across various roles[326].
