That is because of the way we define management as being focused on the idea of creating stability, order, consistency, predictability, by means of using metrics \u2014 e.g., KPI,\u201d says David De Cremer, founder and director of the Centre on AI Technology for Humankind at the National University of Singapore Business School and author of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Leadership-Algorithm-Who-Leads-Follows\/dp\/0857198289\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Leadership by Algorithm: Who Leads and Who Follows in the AI Era?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, AI is beset by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexalytics.com\/lexablog\/stories-ai-failure-avoid-ai-fails-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bias and overhyped promises<\/a>.

The perception that AI may be in charge is understandable \u2014 \u201cwe are moving into a society where people are being told by algorithms what their taste is, and, without questioning it too much, most people comply easily.
