This talk explores how AI is transforming management from performing cognitive work and making decisions to designing and governing delegated authority. It distinguishes AI capability from organizational authority and accountability, arguing that delegation must be calibrated to context. The speaker introduces four conditions for governable AI delegation—specification, verification, control, and accountability—and explains why authority should be assigned to specific decision steps rather than entire decisions. The talk also emphasizes precise language, meaningful human oversight, and the manager's evolving role as an architect of AI-enabled decision structures.
