The AI Skills Nobody is Teaching (And Everyone Needs) with AI Expert Ethan Mollick

So when you're interviewing for a job and everybody's good because of AI. How do I stand out and and get a job that's still that they still need to hire for? I'm fascinated by that. Like if Claude is really good at running your company Claude's also good at running every other company and there's no variation between them. And generically high quality with no variation means there's no votes or comp competitive edge. I think humans who bring competitive edge to this one way or another just by providing variation, if nothing else. Yes. Is a useful way to think about problems, right? You start to care a lot more about the taste of that person. than you do about the entire organization built to deliver the product.

We're all a little afraid of AI. Even the people who love it are a little bit afraid. Some of us are afraid it'll take our jobs or make us dumber. Or change everything so fast we'll never be able to catch up. It doesn't help the most AI experts fall into one of two camps. They're the Doomers or they're the zealots. That's why I wanted to talk to Ethan Moloch. He's an AI expert who, refreshingly, is neither. Ethan's a Wharton professor studying how AI, entrepreneurship, and innovation impact our work. He focuses on how employees actually use these tools rather than how they're theoretically supposed to improve our work. His New York Times bestseller Co Intelligence.

and his popular sub stack, One Useful Thing, have become the go-to resources for all those people trying to make sense of AI without losing their minds. Ethan believes we have more agency over AI than we think. It's our experience, our taste. And our genuine points of view. That are things that AI can never. Replace.
