Gen AI is evolving fast—but employee adoption is slow for most companies. On this episode of The McKinsey Podcast, we feature an episode of our technology podcast, At the Edge, that explores this dynamic. Technology experts Navin Chaddha, managing partner at Mayfield Fund; Kiran Prasad, McKinsey senior adviser and CEO and cofounder of Big Basin Labs; and Naba Banerjee, former director of trust and operations at Airbnb, join guest host and McKinsey Senior Partner Brian Gregg. They discuss the technical, cultural, and organizational challenges companies face—and what leaders can do to realize gen AI’s full potential while managing its risks.
The McKinsey Podcast is cohosted by Lucia Rahilly and Roberta Fusaro.
The transcript has been edited for clarity and length.
