Which companies will lead and which will be left behind as AI transforms the way we work? Nicolai Tangen connects with Ethan Mollick, Wharton professor and author of 'Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI,' to explore how organizations can harness AI's revolutionary potential. They discuss the growing adoption of AI tools across workforces, proven tactics for driving company-wide implementation, the rise of autonomous AI agents, and why traditional training approaches may be missing the mark. Ethan reveals insights from his research showing that AI works best as a collaborative teammate rather than a replacement. With AI capabilities advancing faster than expected, organizations face increasing urgency to act.
In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management. New full episodes every Wednesday, and don't miss our Highlight episodes every Friday.

0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday for the long version. |
0:06.4 | Tune in on Wednesdays. |
0:09.4 | Hi, everybody, Nicola Tangen from the Norwegian Southern Wealth Fund. |
0:13.2 | And today I am here with Ethan Mollick, one of my favorite professors, a professor at Wharton, |
0:19.4 | and who was out not long ago with a book called |

0:29.9 | down to the right. If you haven't got it, we're running by it. Ethan, if you were a chief AI |
0:36.8 | officer in a company for the next three months, |
0:41.0 | what kind of top actions would you take straight away? |
0:44.0 | So I think that the most important thing is to get people actually aware of where the state |
0:49.0 | of the art and AI is. |
0:50.1 | I talk to companies all the time, and I think that a lot of executive level people may have |
0:54.9 | tried AI a while ago or didn't use it personally and don't realize how potentially transformative |
1:00.5 | it is. And I think that I have a sort of general idea that you need to involve your team leadership, |

1:13.1 | So you've got to kind of bring the whole company with you, which is not always an easy thing to do. |
1:17.9 | How are the best companies going about this? |
1:20.4 | So I've seen some really interesting examples of how this works. |
1:23.8 | I can tell a few of the stories I can't tell all of them. |
1:26.7 | One example is radically |
