AIMP 09: Dr Maciej Madziński - Leadership in the Age of AI

In this episode of the AI Master Podcast, we explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping leadership, strategy, and responsibility in modern organizations. Our guest is Dr. Maciej Madziński, a Strategy and Digital Transformation expert, MBA IT Programme Director, and lecturer at Kozminski University in Warsaw.

With over 15 years of experience at the intersection of business, technology, and leadership, Dr. Madziński shares a thoughtful and practical perspective on how AI is changing not only how companies operate, but also what it truly means to lead. The conversation is inspired by his upcoming talk at AI Poland 2025 titled “Leadership in the Age of AI: Between Promise and Responsibility.”

We discuss how leaders perceive AI today, whether excitement or fear dominates boardroom conversations, and why treating AI as just another tool is one of the biggest misunderstandings. Dr. Madziński explains how AI is redefining strategy, where leaders struggle most during adoption, and what responsible AI implementation looks like in real organizational settings.

A strong focus of the episode is placed on human-centered leadership. We talk about empathy, trust, courage, and ethical responsibility in a world where algorithms increasingly support decision-making. The episode also touches on inequality, reskilling, and how leaders can motivate people to grow rather than fear being replaced by technology.

This episode is highly relevant for executives, managers, founders, technologists, MBA students, and anyone interested in leading people and organizations responsibly in the age of AI.
