Book review: 'Co-Intelligence' by Ethan Mollick
n my latest AI book review, I explore ‘Co-Intelligence’ by Ethan Mollick; a book that shifts the AI conversation from what AI is to how we can engage with it as a co-worker.
Many of us perceive AI as a cyborg that threatens to replace human jobs. However, Mollick argues that the best way to think about AI isn’t as a competitor, but as a collaborator or centaur, which combinbes the best of human and machine intelligence.
This book is great at demonstrating how individuals are currently using AI in the workplace and providing practical strategies to work effectively with AI.
