Ahmedabad, March 29 In the field of Artificial Intelligence, integrative intelligence is about becoming "wholly human," and that will define true leadership, said Grammy Award-winning Indian-American musician Chandrika Tandon.
Speaking at the 61st annual convocation of the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) on Saturday, Tandon urged the graduates to step out of their comfort zones and act with commitment.
A total of 629 students from four programs received their degrees during the convocation at the iconic Louis Kahn Plaza on the campus.
The degrees were conferred by IIMA Chairperson Pankaj Patel, its Director Bharat Bhasker, and musician Tandon, who was the chief guest at the function, an official release said.
Addressing the graduating batch, Tandon said, "In the world of Artificial Intelligence, integrative intelligence is about becoming 'wholly' human. That will define true leadership."
She encouraged the graduates to step out of their comfort zones, think critically, explore strategically, and act with intention and commitment, the release said.
"You need to break out of your bubble, whatever it may be. Explore strategically. Think critically. Don't get stuck on a single path, because breakthroughs don't happen on the sidelines. They happen at the crossroads," Tandon said.
"Continuously learn about the world around you. Insight gives you perspective. But you need intention to transition from an accidental to a deliberate life. You need intention to execute things correctly with clarity and commitment, no matter how challenging the goal," she added.
The graduating cohort included 20 doctoral students, 408 from the two-year Post Graduate Programme in Management, 45 from the Post Graduate Programme in Food and Agri-business Management, and 156 from the one-year Post Graduate Programme in Management for Executives.
