As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in our business ecosystems, how can leaders ensure AI serves as a catalyst for resilience rather than disruption? According to Harvard Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society faculty associate Mark Esposito, Ph.D., in this data-driven era, organizations face not just technological but also ethical, social, and strategic imbalances. In this fascinating presentation, Esposito leverages insights from emerging scholarship on Strategic Calibration (SC) to explore how companies can align AI tools with dynamic market conditions, human judgment and societal values. By incorporating Explainable AI (XAI) and feedback-driven adaptive systems, leaders will gain actionable strategies for real-time decision-making, ethical innovation and systemic adaptability. Attendees will leave equipped to calibrate their AI-driven strategies, maximize value creation under volatility and future-proof their organizations in an era of constant flux.

In a time when the old “take, make, dispose” model of production is no longer practical, how can businesses and governments act now to create more sustainable business models?

One of the most cited scholars on the circular economy, Esposito will provide audiences with real-world strategies and practical tools for harnessing technology to accelerate sustainable transitions that will preserve our natural resources now and for the future.
