From AI Overwhelm to AI Advantage: A Playful Guide with Cornelia Schnell


Listen Later

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.
