Economist and public thinker Tyler Cowen joins host Molly Wood to explore why AI adoption is so challenging for many employees, organizations, and educational institutions. As he puts it, "This may sound counterintuitive, but under a lot of scenarios, the more unhappy people are, the better we're doing, because that means a lot of change." Listen in for unvarnished insights on what leaders can expect as they push their organizations to reinvent how they operate and create value with AI.  Show Notes: WorkLab Subscribe to the WorkLab Newsletter
