hendler | on: I'm Eric Ries, author of "The Lean Startup" and new book "Incorruptible" – AMA
A company's values become even more important with AI accelerating and expanding the mission of traditional Delaware Corporations.

Do you have advice on how to use AI to help teams stay true to their values?

Having not read your book yet, in my mind there's the obvious legal support AI can provide to help navigate complex situations, but maybe there's some other groundwork in the value creation and implementation itself?

If those are your questions, I'm confident you're going to like the book a lot as it gets into precisely those topics.

I will say, in general, I think AI is an amplifier of values, and so it will make the good companies better and the bad companies worse. Or maybe more accurately, it will make the good parts of companies better and the bad parts of companies worse.

Either way, I do think that LLMs can solve many of the leadership challenges that we have to solve today with hierarchy and dashboards and bureaucracy, because LLMs are extremely good at summarizing the context of a given situation. One of the hardest leadership challenges of all is simply answering the simple question: What is my company doing right now?

That is a summarization challenge.
