Melissa Valentine of Stanford University will discuss the challenge of managing AI-augmented teams at this Cornerstone Research networking event for professionals in the legal community.
As AI shifts from passive tools to autonomous agents, the emerging reality for leaders is counterintuitive. Rather than automating away oversight, managing AI-augmented teams demands higher-level managerial and strategic skills to keep teams and AI systems safe, effective, and aligned.
Professor Valentine will break down the specific challenges appearing at the AI frontier: experiment overload, workslop, review bottlenecks, cognitive surrender, and accountability diffusion.
In her talk, Melissa Valentine of Stanford University will explain why autonomous AI demands more judgment and oversight from managers, not less. Professor Valentine will break down the specific challenges appearing at the AI frontier: experiment overload, workslop, review bottlenecks, cognitive surrender, and accountability diffusion.
Using concrete examples, Professor Valentine will show how leadership frameworks for scoping, structuring, and evaluating work must evolve to meet these challenges and secure AI’s transformative potential. Tailored for leaders in the legal field, this session will also examine how accountability, decision rights, and risk shift when autonomous tools enter high-stakes contexts.
Following Professor Valentine’s presentation, Phil Leslie, Cornerstone’s Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, will moderate a discussion of what these findings mean for leaders in law, economics, and business.
