English version (AI-translated) with Morten Münster: Why mediocrity might be the key to success with AI

Please note: This episode was translated into English using AI, and the voices were generated with GenAI voice cloning. As a result, you may notice occasional variations in pacing or pronunciation. In the first episode of Tech Talk, season 7, we’re joined by one of Denmark’s leading behavior specialists, Morten Münster. He has just released the book The Department of Magical Thinking, in which he maps out the irrational wishful thinking that often shapes difficult tasks and projects — and explains why mediocrity is sometimes actually the goal. Especially when we talk about AI and the changes the technology brings with it.   Together with our host, Bent Dalager, they dive into habits, why we should embrace mediocrity, and which behavioral pitfalls both leaders and employees should be aware of when new AI tools are implemented and used in the organization. This episode’s quirky recommendation: Bent Dalager: The books "Personal Influence" by Morten Münster and "The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion Morten Münster: Re-read more of the books you already like.
