Rice Business in Memorial City: AI and the Future of Management
AI and the Future of Management
As AI reshapes how organizations operate, the question for leaders is no longer whether to adopt AI—but how to redesign management around it.
In this event, Haiyang Li will explore how AI transforms the relationship between humans and technology, redefining how value is created, shared, and scaled within firms. Drawing on insights from global practice and emerging research, the discussion will highlight how AI is changing collaboration, creativity, and decision-making.
As intelligent systems take on analytical and operational work, executives face new choices about where humans contribute most—and how to structure organizations that bring out the best in both people and machines.
