This is a must-listen for anyone who’s even remotely interested in implementing AI in their work and organisation. Share widely.Ethan Mollick is an Associate Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he studies and teaches innovation, entrepreneurship, and AI’s impact on work and education.
