Are you still unsure what to make of AI?
Does it feel more like a threat than a tool?
You’re not alone and this episode will change the way you think about it.
In this new episode of the GMS Podcast, we take you on a playful yet deeply insightful journey into the world of AI adoption.
Starting from a place of fear and overwhelm, we explore how to turn AI into an advantage without losing your human superpowers.
Together we dive into:
The 4 levels of AI adoption from Level 0 (fear and resistance) through the “wooden sword” stage of experimenting, all the way to the “steel sword” and beyond.
How to overcome fear with curiosity and why “just try it” can be the first step toward new possibilities.
Real-world use cases: how AI cut research analysis time in half without replacing the need for human insight.
What AI can’t do (yet): the critical gaps where human empathy, context, and reading between the lines are irreplaceable.
Why critical thinking and collaboration beat blind enthusiasm: balancing skepticism and excitement.
The future of AI in organizations and how to move from scattered experiments to an integrated, mature AI practice.
This conversation will give you a new perspective on how to use AI as a creative partner rather than fear it as a rival.
