Co-Existence: The Next Phase of AI (PB) - C-format

The hotly-anticipated new guide to working, learning and living with the latest generations of AI, from the acclaimed Wharton Professor of Management and author of the One Useful Thing Substack. Cutting through the noise of AI evangelists and AI doom-mongers, Wharton professor Ethan Mollick has become one of the most prominent and provocative explainers of AI, focusing on the practical aspects of how these new tools for thought can transform our world. In this his latest book, he takes readers up to the cutting edge future and how we can engage best with these transformative platforms. - How do we live alongside machines that are sometimes smarter than us? We are entering a new era. AI systems can already outperform humans in some domains while failing spectacularly in others. They can act as tutors, collaborators, researchers, strategists and creators ... yet they can also produce falsehoods, generate convincing nonsense and fail unpredictably. The challenge is no longer simply adopting new technology. It is learning how to think, work and live in a world where machines are sometimes smarter than us. In Co-Existence, Ethan Mollick argues that the future of AI will not be defined by replacement, but by interaction. Drawing on years of research, experimentation and frontline experience with rapidly evolving AI systems, Mollick shows readers how to: work productively with AI while retaining judgment and autonomy; distinguish where human insight matters most; avoid becoming overly dependent on systems designed to persuade and imitate; adapt creatively as AI reshapes education, business and everyday life; and build a durable human advantage in a world of intelligent machines. Clear-eyed, practical and written with warmth and humor, Co-Existence is your guide to navigating the next phase of the AI revolution.
