This is the same problem a lot of leaders have in all kinds of work. It is often possible to delegate a task. But if one delegates understanding, one is at a disadvantage when compared to an organization where leadership understands the task.

When I was in charge of companies, I understood the technical tasks, but delegated understanding of things like tax law. This was okay, but I was definitely at a disadvantage compared to companies that could better optimize capital allocation around understanding of tax law.

AI means more humans in every organization are having to learn how to be managers/leaders of these agents. Those who actually understand the work they delegate will maintain an advantage over those who do not.
