How should leaders navigate AI governance, enterprise risk, accountability and human judgment as artificial intelligence becomes embedded in large global organizations?

In this episode of Digital Transformation & AI for Humans, I’m joined by Olivia Beyhan, a group-level senior leader at Ericsson, for a conversation about leadership in the AI era, responsible innovation, digital transformation, enterprise risk and the growing importance of human judgment.

Based in Stockholm, Olivia works at the intersection of digital transformation, AI governance, enterprise risk and sustainability within Ericsson, one of the world’s leading telecommunications and critical infrastructure companies.

With a background spanning strategic management, engineering, marketing, data, and large-scale transformation, Olivia brings a grounded perspective on what it takes to move from AI strategy to responsible execution inside a complex global organization.

We explore what leadership means when AI begins to shape decisions, operations, markets and ecosystems, and why human capabilities such as judgment, emotional intelligence and accountability become even more important as automation scales.

Key topics:

• What leadership really means when AI moves from experimentation into systems that shape markets and societies
• Why emotional intelligence and soft skills become more important as AI and automation scale
• How leaders should think about long-term responsibility and second- and third-order effects of innovation
• The risks of removing humans from the governing function and delegating too much judgment to machines
• Which internal processes must evolve first for AI to strengthen decision-making rather than weaken it
• How accountability should be designed when decisions are distributed across humans, systems and algorithms
• Which leadership and business trends are likely to emerge from AI adoption in large enterprises
• What leaders may need to unlearn about AI, leadership and innovation
• How leaders can continue to grow, expand and stay relevant in the years ahead

A central theme of the conversation is that AI leadership is no longer only about adopting better technology. It is about creating the conditions for technology to be trusted, governed, challenged and, when necessary, stopped.

Olivia is also a member of the Diamond Executive Council of AI Game Changers Club, a global executive ecosystem bringing together leaders working across AI, transformation, governance, innovation and human-AI synergy.

This episode is for executives, board members, transformation leaders, AI leaders, technology leaders, risk professionals and business owners navigating AI governance, responsible AI, enterprise transformation, accountability and human judgment.
