Ep. 04 - The People Problem Behind AI Leadership with Niketa Jhaveri

Niketa Jhaveri is a UX & AI Executive at Amazon and the founder of Nivan, an innovation conference exploring how AI is reshaping people, culture and leadership. In this episode, Amit sits down with her to unpack what leadership actually looks like inside the AI era.Niketa introduces deliberation debt, her model for the hidden cost of deciding faster than a question deserves and explains that leadership right now is a people problem before it is a technology one. She walks through the three skills every team needs to build (fluency, judgment and context) plus the case for cultural intelligence as AI-generated experiences reach global markets.One number sticks: 93% of Fortune 100 data leaders say culture and change management, not technology, are their biggest barrier to AI adoption.Hosted by Amit Patel, Founder of Experience Haus
