CHAPTER

Navigating the Hype of Emerging Technologies

This chapter explores the dual nature of hype in the context of emerging technologies like generative AI and discusses the psychological factors influencing decision-making, such as fear of missing out (FOMO). The conversation emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to innovation, urging business leaders to critically assess the potential benefits and risks of new technologies rather than succumbing to sensationalized narratives. By highlighting historical technology bubbles and the importance of maintaining existing infrastructures, the speakers advocate for a rational evaluation of industry trends while fostering epistemic humility regarding future predictions.
