What participants say

“The narrative architecture of 1956 is remarkably sophisticated. What struck me most was how the simulation sustains genuine intellectual tension across the full arc of the experience. Participants are not performing leadership; they are exercising it, under conditions that expose both the power and the limits of AI with real precision. I have encountered nothing else quite like it in executive education.”

“Fantastic learnings on an important topic! The 1956 AI Leadership Simulation highlighted the importance of understanding both bias and expected outcomes in AI models. The way a model is trained, along with any biases present in the data it learns from, can significantly influence its outputs. Would recommend to any leader wanting to understand the nuances of the AI world!”

“Through spending an enjoyable afternoon participating in 1956 I was able to have a better understanding of how the abstract concepts of machine learning and algorithms suddenly become very real and tangible. The eye-opener was seeing how the unique limitations of each AI system directly dictated success. Each system isn't just a black box of intelligence; it is entirely bound by its specific logic, constraints, and architecture.”

“The simulation was engaging, fast paced, and genuinely thought-provoking. It challenged me to make decisions under pressure, work through ambiguity with my team, and reflect on the balance between technology and human judgement.”
