What does it take to build a superintelligent enterprise? Dr. Nada Sanders shares insights from her latest research on what it means to create a superintelligent organization. Contrary to popular belief, it's not about only relying on advanced technology. Instead, the combination of AI and human judgment drives success. Nada and Kevin discuss Kasparov’s Law, which emphasizes that an average person with a good process and AI can outperform even superior computers or individuals without the right systems. Nada believes the key to long-term success in a superintelligent enterprise lies in blending technology with human empathy, communication, and expertise.
