What All Leaders Can Learn from the Ways AI Is Revolutionizing Medicine

President of Microsoft Research Peter Lee on how it’s transforming the industry—and what that means for your business.

Michael Platt literally wrote the book on the neuroscience of leadership, and he joined us on this episode of the WorkLab podcast to explain how AI is transforming our understanding of the brain, as well as the way we work.

Platt is the Director of the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative and a Professor of Marketing, Neuroscience, and Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. His research explores how our minds work in relation to communication, decision making, group intelligence, and team building.

Platt believes that leveraging insights from neuroscience that are uncovered with the aid of AI can transform how your business functions, and he explains how smart companies are already taking advantage of this potential.

Two big takeaways from the conversation:

WorkLab is a place for experts to share their insights and opinions. As students of the future of work, Microsoft values inputs from a diverse set of voices. That said, the opinions and findings of the experts we interview are their own and do not reflect Microsoft’s own research or opinions.
