Abstract
AI technologies are expected to bring about changes in both the theoretical and practical aspects of leadership. When forecasting these developments, the assumptions of generative AI technologies can be beneficial in revealing certain hints. The objective of this study is to analyze the underlying assumptions of generative AI systems in relation to their comprehension of future leadership. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the exploratory case study model, which is typically employed as a qualitative research design. The research study group comprises Chatsonic, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT, and YouChat chatbots. These chatbots use AI support to determine future leadership knowledge. The study involved posing four questions to the chatbots in order to investigate their comprehension of future leadership. Field specialists provided assistance in deciding these questions. The chatbots were posed with these inquiries in January 2024, and the responses were subjected to descriptive analysis. The document analysis methodology corroborated the results derived from this investigation. The research findings indicate that conceptual skills will play a significant role in shaping the future understanding of leadership. Conversely, the implementation of generative AI in businesses will diminish the significance of conceptual talents, particularly in the execution of mundane activities. Furthermore, future businesses will use generative AI to help leaders tackle more complex technological issues. Moreover, the use of generative AI in firms may pose potential challenges for leaders in terms of conceptual issues such as ethics and secrecy. The research findings indicate that generative AI technologies place significant emphasis on key aspects of future leadership comprehension. In this regard, it is advisable to conduct empirical research on the potential implications of emerging AI technologies for future leadership paradigms.
