Training managers in the era of AI: why judgment matters more than algorithms
If an algorithm is able to produce a credible strategic plan in just a few seconds, where does the value of the manager lie today? The answers come from business schools, which are already experimenting with the impact of generative AI on evaluation, merit, and responsibility. The Vademecum on Generative AI in Management Education promoted by IFSAM shows that real value does not lie in the outputs produced by algorithms, but in the human judgment that interprets them, evaluates them, and ultimately takes responsibility for them. Reflections emerging from business schools thus anticipate the challenges that companies and leadership will face: governing AI without delegating decision-making power to it, integrating technology and responsibility, and keeping accountability at the centre in increasingly AI-intensive contexts. A lesson that comes from education but speaks directly to the management of today and tomorrow.
