Human-AI Leadership Program

Redesign work, elevate human potential and lead responsible AI transformation.

Human-AI Leadership Program

Program overview

As AI becomes part of everyday work, leaders face questions that go beyond technology. How should roles and decisions change? Where can intelligent systems support people, and where must human judgment and accountability remain central? How do leaders build trust and help teams adapt?

This interactive program explores the human side of AI-enabled transformation. Perspectives from neuroscience, practical AI, organizational innovation, and responsible technology help leaders examine what people and machines each do best. Through facilitated discussion, a hands-on simulation, and application to real leadership challenges, participants identify changes they can make in their own organizations.

Who it’s for: Executive committees, business and functional leaders, HR and people leaders, and transformation teams responsible for guiding organizations through AI-enabled change.

Format

One-and-a-half-day executive leadership experience, in person. Designed for senior leadership teams.

Singularity combines expert-led sessions, peer dialogue, facilitated reflection, and hands-on experimentation. Examples and exercises are tailored to the client’s AI maturity, leadership priorities, and organizational challenges. Participants work with questions drawn from their own teams so that the discussion stays practical.

Themes and topics

The learning journey moves leaders from understanding change to grounding AI in practice, reimagining work, experiencing the trade-offs, and leading forward. It is built on four design principles:

  • Lead with people and organizational realities
  • Balance practical AI understanding with leadership and behavioral insight
  • Make responsible AI tangible through experience
  • Translate discussion into leadership choices
01

People and change

Understand the human responses that shape successful transformation.

02

AI in practice

Explore what intelligent systems can do and where leaders should exercise judgment.

03

Future of work

Consider how teams, roles, and decisions could evolve.

04

AI simulation

Experience the consequences of design choices and automated decisions.

05

Leadership commitments

Identify changes leaders can test and questions they need to resolve.

Objectives and outcomes

Learning objectives

  • Explore how AI may reshape roles, teamwork, decisions, and expectations of leadership.
  • Understand why people resist change and how leaders can support adaptability, trust, and confidence.
  • Distinguish practical AI opportunities from hype, and consider what changes when AI enters everyday work.
  • Experience how assumptions and design choices affect automated decisions, fairness, and accountability.
  • Identify leadership practices and first steps that support effective human–AI collaboration.

Tangible takeaways

  • A clearer view of how AI may change work, decisions, and team dynamics.
  • Practical insight into the human challenges of adopting new technology.
  • Direct experience of how choices in AI systems can shape outcomes.
  • A shortlist of leadership actions and questions to take back to the organization.

Agenda

The agenda combines four expert perspectives with facilitated dialogue and hands-on application. Recommended faculty and sessions are illustrative and subject to availability.

DAY 01

Focus: Rethink people, work and leadership

Why brains hate change and what to do about it

Misha Byrne (facilitator)

Explore the neuroscience of change and why even promising new tools can trigger resistance. Discuss practical ways leaders can create the conditions for learning, adaptability, and trust.

Understanding the explosion of artificial intelligence: past, present, and future

Michael Housman

Ground the discussion in what AI can and cannot do today. Through practical examples, consider where AI is changing decisions and work, and what leaders need to understand before asking teams to adopt it.

AI-native organizations and the future of work

Shuo Chen

Explore how AI could change team structures, workflows, and the relationship between human expertise and intelligent systems. Consider what organizations might redesign rather than simply automate.

Leadership reflection: what changes for our teams?

Misha Byrne (facilitated application)

Working with their own leadership challenges, participants discuss which roles and decisions may change, where concerns could emerge, and which human capabilities may become more important.

END OF DAY ONE
DAY 02

Focus: Experience the trade-offs and lead forward

AI simulation workshop: aligning intention with implementation and outcomes

Alix Rübsaam

In a hands-on simulation, participants experience how human choices shape AI-driven outcomes. Explore the implications of assumptions, bias, and oversight, and discuss what responsible implementation asks of leaders.

From insight to action: leading human–AI collaboration

Misha Byrne (facilitated application)

Translate the experience into concrete leadership choices. Teams identify one practice to change, one question about accountability or decision rights to resolve, and practical next steps to help people work confidently with AI.

Introduction to Exponentials

(presented by facilitator)

Thinking exponentially is core to everything we teach at Singularity, this means that we start with showing how each year the power and/or speed of technology is doubling and/or the cost is dropping by half. Getting into the mindset of thinking exponentially is a fundamental first step for projecting into the future. During this session participants will not just understand the basic definition of exponential growth, but dive into its implications, and shift from a linear way of thinking to an exponential one.

We typically overestimate growth in the short term, and underestimate it in the long term due to the deceptive nature of exponential growth. Because computational technologies (including artificial intelligence, biotechnologies, advanced manufacturing, and more) progress exponentially, its growth and adoption can be surprising. As these technologies continue to democratize, access to use them becomes more widespread and more and more people, companies, and industries will have a role to play in how they’re leveraged.This session will prepare you for thinking about these growth patterns, how they apply to your industry, and what role you can play in their use.

Creating Impact in an Exponential world

The world around us is changing at an exponential pace. From climate change to water to hunger, global issues are becoming more challenging and growing faster than traditional organizations are able to manage. What does it mean to create impact in this new environment? And how can you, as one of today's most capable leaders, define your own massive transformative purpose?
