Summary

Ethan Mollick, professor at the Wharton School and author of One Useful Thing, joins Scott Galloway to examine the biggest mistake companies are making about AI. They discuss why fears of mass job loss may be premature, how quiet productivity gains are already reshaping work, and why most organizations lack the imagination to redesign themselves around new technology. Ethan also explores AI in higher education and medicine, the rise of open-weight models, and what all of this means for young people entering the workforce. Learn more about your ad choices.
