The rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) has significant economic potential across all sectors of industry and public administration. It is considered the next productivity and work frontier for increased growth potential and labor productivity across the economy, engendering added value creation in key business areas. However, a variety of risks for privacy and security have created some key dilemmas in using AI in the dissolution of truth and in fake generation and fake authenticity. We will examine Scandinavian business cases to explore the need for reinventing internal management practices and finding new ways to cope with the consequences of using Generative AI for the organization of work. We will use this insight to analyze the significant geopolitical challenges for businesses and society of Generative AI.
