Resumen del Editor

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From Wharton professor and author of the popular One Useful Thing Substack newsletter Ethan Mollick comes the definitive playbook for working, learning, and living in the new age of AI

Something new entered our world in November 2022—the first general purpose AI that could pass for a human and do the kinds of creative, innovative work that only humans could do previously. Wharton professor Ethan Mollick immediately understood what ChatGPT meant: after millions of years on our own, humans had developed a kind of co-intelligence that could augment, or even replace, human thinking. Through his writing, speaking, and teaching, 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 Co-Intelligence, Mollick urges us to engage with AI as co-worker, co-teacher, and coach. He assesses its profound impact on business and education, using dozens of real-time examples of AI in action. Co-Intelligence shows what it means to think and work together with smart machines, and why it's imperative that we master that skill.

Mollick challenges us to utilize AI's enormous power without losing our identity, to learn from it without being misled, and to harness its gifts to create a better human future. Wide ranging, hugely thought-provoking, optimistic, and lucid, Co-Intelligence reveals the promise and power of this new era.

A limited amount of text-to-speech is used throughout the title for specific characters to achieve a particular creative effect, and the title is otherwise narrated by a human.

Lucky you: our oracle has written a lucid, succinct, and eminently practical guide to navigating the revolution that is right now unfolding at an astonishing pace.

This book is an invaluable resource, offering a comprehensive guide to current trends and future expectations in AI. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of this rapidly evolving technology."—Eric Horvitz, Chief Scientific Officer, Microsoft

great content, narration challenged

Ethan is a great thinker and share-r, but his narration is almost bad enough to not purchase. I had a credit to use and I wanted to hear the material, but I would have rather heard ChatGPT narrate the entire text in his style and tone minus his enunciation challenges.

Outstanding!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and will give it a second listen, maybe even a third. From where I sit, it's an excellent over view of the current state of AI, and a compelling glimpse into the future.

Well done, Mr. Mollick!

Fast but Interesting

The narration was too fast even after slowing it on my device. But the information was fascinating and helps me think about AI over the next few years.

Forward Thinking

Mollick has a likable voice that the listener can embrace while disseminating unnerving content. The text was short and not overwhelming allowing the listener to pause and reflect.

Invite ai in your every day life

I had to listen at 85% speed . At 75, I enjoyed the explanation of what training AI meant and being taught the concept of LLM principles.

A Deep Dive into AI with Ethan Mollick

After hearing Ethan Mollick interviewed on both NY Times and MIT podcasts, I decided to dive into his book, “Co-Intelligence,” and I’m very glad I did. The book offers a fascinating look at how AI is reshaping various fields, narrated by Mollick himself, which adds a personal touch like you’re having a smart conversation with a friend. While it covers many aspects of AI, the chapter on education particularly resonated with me. It’s full of insightful ideas on how AI will transform learning, ushering in a future rich with possibilities. Following Mollick’s advice to use AI more in our daily lives, I collaborated with ChatGPT to help write this review. It’s a five-star must-read for anyone curious about AI’s expansive role in our future!

Important read right now!

Mollick isn’t simply parading around toting the promise of AI. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a super user and a believer is where it may take us, but he does well breaking down both the advantages and the risks in society, education and beyond.

I’ll stop calling it cobotics now…. ;)

I’ve been calling this cobotics with friends and family for the last 4-5 years of AI studies… now I have to call it co-intelligence.

What a great listen set. Did it first on the commute dropping off kids and the Better Half at school/work. Second was in an Adirondack listening to the water with some cannabis.

Third was patchy recall listens on and off with Jen after she listened fully.

Fourth will be this summer during summer studies with kiddos as part of their focus on transformers.

Good stuffs Ethan!

Interesting and actionable

Great book on LLMs, their limitations and potential future states. Author even throws in some good dad jokes.

Useful contextual understanding of Ai

It’s an ok book with some foundational understanding of Ai however repeats itself in many instances.
