The AI Psychology Trap: What Smart Companies Miss That Costs Them Their Best People
This interview with Stefano Puntoni explores the psychological impact of AI in the workplace — how its implementation affects employee well-being, motivation, and retention. It covers the hidden psychological disruptions AI creates, why people feel less threatened by AI than by human replacement, and how cost-cutting narratives harm morale. The discussion examines how AI influences employees’ sense of competence, autonomy, and relatedness, and offers practical guidance on implementing AI in a psychologically supportive way. It also explores how companies can build “AI-proof” skills like creativity and ethics — and what they must do now to avoid losing top talent in the AI-driven future.
Companies don’t lose talent by accident. They lose it because they miss what’s really going on. This podcast explores the stories and data behind why people leave and how to stop it.
