Synopsis "Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI"
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.
Ethan Mollick (Ethan Robert Mollick) es un académico y ensayista estadounidense especializado en innovación, emprendimiento y el impacto práctico de la inteligencia artificial. Profesor en la Wharton School de la Universidad de Pensilvania, se ha convertido en una de las voces más claras —y menos apocalípticas— sobre cómo las tecnologías emergentes transforman el trabajo real, no el de las diapositivas. Su enfoque combina investigación rigurosa, experimentación directa en el aula y una rara habilidad para traducir conceptos complejos en ideas accionables.
Es autor de Cointeligencia, un libro que examina cómo humanos e IA pueden colaborar de forma productiva sin caer en el tecnosolucionismo ingenuo ni en el miedo paralizante. Además de su labor académica, Mollick mantiene una intensa actividad divulgativa, influyendo en docentes, directivos y emprendedores que buscan entender qué cambia de verdad y qué es puro humo. Su mérito está en decir lo obvio cuando hace falta… y demostrarlo con datos.
