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.

This is a book filled with practical examples about how to use AI.
Excellent instruction on how to have the proper relationship with AI. Having worked with a couple of AI engines extensively over the last few months, I find Ethan Mollick’s encounters to be consistent with mine and his approaches sound. If AI was better integrated into Amazon’s customer facing systems, AI would have co-authored this review.
El libro se deja leer fácil; las ideas o temas se plantean de forma directa y amena a la vez. No cae en fatalismos anticipados ni extravagantes futuros.Leyendo este libro, se aprende lo esencial acerca de lo que está detrás de las IA, sus implicaciones y limitaciones.Muy recomendable.
I had a coworker who was totally enamored with ChatGPT and couldn't stop talking about it. I'm a skeptic and a late adopter, but it did get me wondering: How should I regard generative AI? How should I use it? How will it impact the future of education and work? This book addresses all of these in just the way I was looking for. If you're seeking a technical deep dive into building LLMs or something, look elsewhere. If you need a surface level handling of the question "What's this all about?" this is a good one.
I enjoyed this book and thought it did a good job of explaining AI and how to prompt AI to give you better outputs. Definitely have utilized some of the information in the book in the real world and professional life. Would definitely recommend.
