Lee's perspective on AI reframes the conversation from fear to practical management strategies. He argues that concerns about losing control over AI agents may be overstated. He suggests that with proper supervision, similar to how humans manage tasks and responsibilities, organizations can effectively integrate AI systems without ceding too much control. Rather than viewing AI as a threat, Lee advocates for a balanced approach that emphasizes human oversight and robust review processes to harness AI's potential safely.
