## Resource

In today's episode: • As AI makes software development easier than ever, leaders must decide what should be built internally and what is too mission critical to reinvent from scratch. • The real question is not whether AI will make mistakes. Every system does. The question is whether the potential benefits outweigh the risks and costs of getting it wrong. • Framing blindness can limit better decisions. Expanding the lens beyond a single function or assumption often reveals opportunities, risks, and solutions that were invisible before. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica to discuss the balance between leveraging AI for innovation and knowing when certain critical systems are too risky to rebuild on your own. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Dr. Jessica Kriegel on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with John Frehse on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
