Navigating AI's Next Frontier with Mike Courtney
Description
Here’s the problem: Artificial intelligence is evolving faster than most organizations can keep up — and the risks of falling behind are real.
In this episode, futurist and ethnographer Mike Courtney, CEO of Aperio Insights, joins IISE’s David Brandt to unpack how AI is reshaping the way we work, think, and lead. Together they explore:
- Why AI can solve problems at scale — and create them at scale
- How industrial and systems engineers can lead responsibly through the AI revolution
- The paradox of innovation: moving fast without losing the human touch
- What “humans in the loop” really means for the future of work
From dark factories and automation to collaboration, creativity, and behavioral change, Courtney sheds light on how to balance speed, ethics, and adaptability in an AI-driven world.
