Empowering Leaders with AI Insights and Strategic Thinking
On the 5th of July, 2025, East Bridge University saw a virtual amalgamation of people from across the globe. "AI for Senior Management", an informative and interactive webinar led by Dr Audai Altaie, was conducted. Professionals, academics, and students joined the session to learn about the latest trends and strategic shifts that are taking place in the world of artificial intelligence. Dr Audai is a renowned business strategist and technology expert who gave essential inputs on decision-making and leadership in the modern AI-driven business landscape.
Dr. Audai Altaie, a veteran with more than 18 years of experience in B2B channel sales, business development, and product management, shared key insights on integrating AI into senior-level management functions. He draws relevance and real-life experiences from his vast span of professional career, where he has served as Regional Business Development Manager, Business Consultant, Business Director, and Business Development across a varied range of organisations, including LG Electronics' MEA Regional Headquarters in Dubai and the MENA Regional Headquarters in Dubai, UAE. The session was rich with valuable insights into the real-world challenges and opportunities with the adoption of AI.
AI’s Role in Governance, Recruitment, and Streamlining Management
The discussion centred on how AI is enhancing hiring procedures, transforming governance, and streamlining management-level operations. Dr Altaie presented several fascinating case studies that demonstrated how automation and machine learning are fostering innovation and organisational efficiency, including AI applications at well-known corporations like Google and Amazon. Interactive quizzes were incorporated into the presentation to keep the audience interested and engaged. The entire experience was a refreshing perspective on the current scenario of the business world, where Dr Altaie gave practical observations on how to integrate AI in everyday business practices.
The Call for Ethical and Balanced Use of AI
Dr. Altaie's emphasis on using AI ethically was a key takeaway from the webinar. He emphasised how crucial it is to strike a balance between creativity and accountability. He emphasised that AI should be used as a tool for empowerment, not replacement. He called for open policies, data protection, and equitable algorithms that represent moral business principles, and he cautioned against over-reliance and promoted moderation in implementation.
