698 - Why AI Cannot Write a CEO’s Point of View
In this Daily Hint, Jens Heitland explains why a CEO’s point of view has to come from the CEO and cannot be produced by AI alone. Drawing on six to twelve hours of in-depth interviews and story capture to understand each executive, he explains that the real value lies in a leader's connections to their industry, which surface only through long conversations and careful listening. AI can support the process once that groundwork exists, although it still needs to be pushed and trained before it recognizes those connections. Jens also shares a simple measure of authenticity: when people who know a CEO in person read their content and feel it does not sound like them, the content has lost its originality.
