Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning will change the landscape of the workplace, but the need to develop and nurture great teams and leaders will remain in human hands for decades to come. Artificial intelligence is about efficiency, scope, and data – creating high-performance workplace cultures where employees look forward to coming to work is about trust and emotional connections.

Don Rheem is CEO of E3 Solutions, recently sat down with Inside Counsel for an exclusive interview. Rheem focuses on using science-backed research to consult with leaders at all levels within an organization and his passion for delivering truly outstanding improvements in business performance conveys quickly to the CEOs and key executives he works with.

AI will change the legal landscape in a similar way it will change the terrain for all organizations, according to Rheem. It will process data in ways that reduce risk, increase possibilities, and determine correlations and causal relationships that would be impossible for the human brain. However, AI will not nurture better leaders, reduce turnover, develop vibrant workplace cultures, or strengthen the relational well-being of employees that come to work every day. He said, “Those tasks, typically under developed in law firms today, will remain the responsibility of front-line leaders.”
