# Calibrate AI Use to the Decision at Hand

The authors warn that treating all AI as interchangeable leads leaders to misapply it—using generative tools where analytical engines are needed, or where the real work is human deliberation and commitment. For boards and CEOs adopting AI-assisted decision frameworks, the practical guidance is to distinguish narrow decisions (clear objectives, measurable outcomes) from wide decisions (contested goals, incomplete data) and match the AI role accordingly to avoid fragile buy-in and poor execution.
