Busting AI Myths: What AI Is - And What It Isn’t


Listen Later

Too often, AI is either sold as a magic fix for workplace problems or feared as a job-stealing machine. In reality, it’s neither. But dismissing these myths entirely — or ignoring how they shape real business decisions — can be a mistake.

In this episode of AI at Work, two consultants — Pascal Aberer and David Roesler — share what they’ve learned from seeing AI implemented across industries. With a practical and grounded perspective, they unpack where common beliefs like “AI will kill creativity” or “machines make smarter decisions than humans” come from — and what can help teams and leaders approach AI more thoughtfully.

What business leaders, managers, and anyone curious will get from this episode:

  • Why Generative AI can’t replace genuine human creativity — but will still reshape how creative work is done, commissioned or managed

  • When AI decisions are useful, and where human judgment still matters

  • How ignoring AI myths — or believing them — can affect adoption and outcomes

This conversation is less about using AI in the workplace and more about understanding what it means to introduce such a powerful technology into everyday business and society.

Whether you're sceptical or curious, this episode is meant to ground the conversation — and offer practical reflections from those working closely with AI in the field.
