Summary
As AI rapidly reshapes the way we build products, the role of engineering leaders is evolving just as quickly. Being “AI-ready” is not just about understanding the technology; it is about knowing how to harness it responsibly, cut through the hype to spot real opportunities, and lead teams through both the promise and the pitfalls. Leaders must learn how to empower experimentation while maintaining guardrails, balance speed with trust, and translate business problems into AI solutions that actually deliver impact. This discussion will explore the skills, mindsets, and frameworks leaders need to adopt, as well as the habits they may need to unlearn, in order to successfully guide teams, organizations, and themselves in an AI-driven era. Participants will leave with practical strategies for adapting their own leadership style to this new frontier and with a clearer view of how to prepare their organizations, and themselves, for the AI future.
