What happens when AI makes better decisions than the C-suite? In this episode, I speak with Hamza Mudassir — co-founder of Strategize and lecturer at Cambridge Judge Business School — about his groundbreaking simulation that showed AI outperforming human CEOs on key business decisions and the benefits of having a digital twin at work.
Top 5 Highlights:
AI Outperformed Humans in Strategy Simulation: Hamza’s simulation showed that an AI model outperformed hundreds of MBA students and executives in business decision-making — except during unpredictable Black Swan events.Why AI Struggles with Uncertainty: Unlike humans who hedge against the unexpected, the AI grew overconfident and “bet the house” — failing dramatically when faced with novel disruptions.Executives vs. MBAs: Risk & Plateauing: Executives quickly reached product-market fit but often stopped playing to avoid reputational risk, while students kept pushing and innovating.Rise of the Digital Twin: Strategize builds “digital twins” — AI-powered, hyper-personal agents that learn everything about an executive’s work, preferences, and communications to serve as a personal co-pilot.The Future of the CEO Role: AI will not replace CEOs—but the best leaders will be those who know how to work with AI to amplify decision-making, handle data complexity, and retain accountability.
Hamza's work along with his co-authors Kamal Munir, Shaz Ansari and Amal Zahra is featured in HBR: https://hbr.org/2024/09/ai-can-mostly-outperform-human-ceos

Description

AI is rapidly reshaping how we work and lead — and we’re in a brief, critical window to understand its potential, limits, and impact, and to shape where it goes.
My Robot Boss, hosted by Devon Forster McConnell, features candid conversations with leaders, experts, and founders on the frontlines of this shift. Together, we explore how AI is changing leadership, performance, and the human experience of work — and what today’s leaders need to stay relevant and effective.
This moment is uncertain, exhilarating, and high-stakes — join us as we make sense of it, and help shape what comes next.
