The easy story was that the machine had won and the human had lost. The age of human superiority in chess was over.\nKasparov saw something different and asked a more useful question: What if the future of chess was not human versus machine, but human plus machine?\nHe called it advanced chess, or centaur chess. And when skilled amateurs using ordinary computers began outperforming both grandmasters alone and machines alone, a new possibility appeared. The strongest player was not the human. It was not the computer. It was the quality of the partnership between them.\nThat is the question now facing higher education.\nAI is no longer a distant technology conversation. It is entering the daily work of institutions — finance, enrollment, advising, research, communications, planning, operations, and student support. The question is not whether AI will matter. It already does.\nThe leadership question is different:How do we use these tools without surrendering judgment?How do we increase capacity without weakening trust?How do we move faster without losing the human connection?This week on Navigating Change, Howard Teibel sits down with James Taylor — global keynote speaker, former music industry executive, and one of the leading voices on creativity and artificial intelligence — at the WACUBO Annual Meeting in Las Vegas.\nJames works with leaders around the world on what AI means for creativity, work, and organizational life. In our conversation, he offers a useful reframing for higher education business officers and institutional leaders: the future of leadership is not simply management. It is orchestration, openness, and curiosity.\nAt a time when institutions are under pressure to do more with less, James reminds us that technology alone will not create the future. Leaders will.\nBut only if they learn how to create stronger partnerships between people, tools, judgment, and purpose.\nLinks and ResourcesJames...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/JAj8iKPe8iWim0T8eck2VWBgA4CeC36qxxuSs6wnC1E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMzMTQ0LzE2NjAy/NjM5ODQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
