Dr. Elisa Konya-Baumbach on the Psychology of AI Acceptance

Dela

AI adoption is failing in most organisations - not because of technology, but because of psychology. Even when AI demonstrably outperforms humans, people resist it. The question is: why?

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Elisa Konya-Baumbach - Professor of Consumer Psychology at Bern University of Applied Sciences and Co-Founder of humest - who has spent years researching the irrational human reactions that block AI adoption.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • The psychology behind AI resistance - including "uniqueness neglect" and why rational arguments don't work
  • Why most AI training programs fail - and how to design literacy programs that actually drive adoption
  • How reframing "AI" as "smart technologies" or giving AI assistants names changes employee behaviour
  • The four levels of AI acceptance - individual, organisational, societal, and technological - and what to fix first
