Scott Galloway has some choice metaphors to describe AI's impact on workers: 'I think of it as corporate Ozempic'

Scott Galloway, a professor at NYU Stern, recently discussed AI's impact on the workplace, using vivid metaphors to illustrate its dual nature. He likened AI to 'corporate Ozempic,' suggesting that while it allows companies to manage growth with fewer employees, it creates pressure on leadership and workers alike. He also warned of its 'dark side,' comparing it to the East German Stasi, as AI's capabilities enable businesses to monitor performance more closely, making it easier to identify underperformers in the workforce.
