Why Automation Has Limits — and Leadership Still Matters

Automation is accelerating — but not everything can, or should, be automated. In this episode of Human Work After AI, Chris Fanchi sits down with Chris Samaras to explore where automation actually breaks down, why human judgment still matters, and how leaders misunderstand the difference between efficiency and responsibility. As AI systems become more capable, many organizations rush to automate decisions, workflows, and even leadership behaviors. But automation has limits — technical, ethical, and human — that are often ignored until something breaks. In this conversation, Chris Samaras shares a grounded, experience-based perspective on where automation helps, where it fails, and why human accountability, context, and judgment remain essential even in highly automated environments. This is a conversation for leaders, managers, and operators trying to adopt AI without hollowing out trust, culture, or decision-making.
