Image of the day

There is a lot of media attention and ongoing studies on the new generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) software's impact on organizations. In the end, AI will only provide outputs based on available data and its instructions for translating the data into an end product. Some AI image results are cringe-worthy, interesting, strange, and creepy. The image below is the initial image response from a five-word instruction set for a popular AI image-generating application. We can watch the growth of AI capabilities over time while looking at the very details AI generates in response to a simple set of instructions. What is your reaction to this picture? What details do you see?

AI-generated an image of: “servant leadership impacts education.”

Image Reaction: Do you see the tie that turns into a hand? How about the person with the electric razor under the chin? What does this image tell you about AI and its ability to take over the world?

Reaction

What is Servant Leadership to you, and do you know how to implement it?

This study sounds positive, but what does this mean from a practical perspective? If you have the ability to take the time and learn the concepts of servant leadership, you can have a successful organization as long as you are not a manipulator or micro-manager.

The best place to start? Lead by setting goals and not defining the actions to an expected outcome. If followers cannot find a path, do you have the correct team?
