HIGHLIGHTS: Ethan Mollick

Hi everybody, tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday. For the long version, tune in on Wednesdays. Hi everybody, uh Nikola Tangen from the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund and today I am here with Ethan Molik, one of my favourite professors, a professor at Wharton and who is uh who was out uh not long ago with a book on co called co-intelligence, living and working with AI. And actually you can see it um behind Ethan there, down to down to the right.

If you haven't got it, run and buy it. Ethan, if you were uh a chief AI officer uh in a company for the next three months, what kind of top actions would you take straight away? So I think that the the most important thing is to get people actually aware of where the state of the art in AI is. I talk to companies all the time, and I think that a lot of executive level people may have tried AI a while ago or didn't use it personally and don't realize how potentially transformative it is. And I think that I I have a sort of general idea that you need to involve your team leadership.

You need to evolve a set up a lab that's doing research and you need to think about how to roll this out to the crowd, to everybody in the organization. So you've got to kind of bring the whole company with you, which is not always an easy thing to do. How are the best companies going about this? So I'm seeing some really interesting examples of of how this works. I can tell a few of the stories, I can't tell all of them.
