Story
We are approaching a critical threshold in the history of our species. Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organize your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy. None of us are prepared. As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the center of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.

There is a robotics revolution underway. A record 3.1 million robots are working in factories right now, doing everything from assembling computers to packing goods and monitoring air quality and performance. A far greater number of smart machines impact our lives in countless other ways—improving the precision of surgeons, cleaning our homes, extending our reach to distant worlds—and we’re on the cusp of even more exciting opportunities.

Regarded as one of the brightest young scientists of his generation, Lewis Dartnell proposes that the key to preserving civilization in an apocalyptic scenario is to provide a quickstart guide, adapted to cataclysmic circumstances. The Knowledge describes many of the modern technologies we employ, but first it explains the fundamentals upon which they are built. The Knowledge is a brilliantly original guide to the fundamentals of science and how it built our modern world as well as a thought experiment about the very idea of scientific knowledge itself.

Story
Our lives are filled with repetitive tasks meant to keep us on track—what we come to know as habits. Over time, these routines (for example, brushing your teeth or putting on your right sock first) tend to be performed automatically. But when we’re more mindful about these actions—when we focus on the precise way they are performed—they can instead become rituals. Shifting from a “habitual” mindset to a “ritual” mindset can convert ordinary acts from black and white to technicolor.

Our current definition of “productivity” is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We’re overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices?

No data is completely safe. Cyberattacks on companies and individuals are on the rise and growing not only in number but also in ferocity. And while you may think your company has taken all the precautionary steps to prevent an attack, no individual, company, or country is safe. Cybersecurity can no longer be left exclusively to IT specialists. Improving and increasing data security practices and identifying suspicious activity is everyone's responsibility, from the boardroom to the break room.

You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new oil—the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything—from missiles to microwaves—runs on chips, including cars, smartphones, the stock market, even the electric grid. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower, but America’s edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by players in Taiwan, Korea, and Europe taking over manufacturing.

Publisher's summary
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.
Critic reviews
"Co-Intelligence] is a solid explainer. Convincing…a blueprint…smart and well informed…"—The Wall Street Journal
"Generative AI has an oracle, and his name is Ethan Mollick. 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. Co-Intelligence is the very best book I know about the ins, outs, and ethics of generative AI. Drop everything and read it cover to cover NOW."—Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit
"Ethan Mollick has been a leader with the hands-on exploration of AI's evolving capabilities. In Co-Intelligence, he masterfully navigates the landscape of AI advancements with insightful and informative commentary, presented with remarkable clarity and precision. 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

Our lives are filled with repetitive tasks meant to keep us on track—what we come to know as habits. Over time, these routines (for example, brushing your teeth or putting on your right sock first) tend to be performed automatically. But when we’re more mindful about these actions—when we focus on the precise way they are performed—they can instead become rituals. Shifting from a “habitual” mindset to a “ritual” mindset can convert ordinary acts from black and white to technicolor.

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.

Been eagerly awaiting this book for some weeks. Mollick’s insight on AI and weaving it into the audiobook (with a different voice!!) is hauntingly brilliant. I will get my colleagues together and dig in together as we go over it again. I especially loved the parts that reminded me that AI is a supercharger for our own creativity not a replacement.

Accessible and easy listen
I’m not an AI scientist but became one of my workplace’s AI “experts” by accident. This is one of the most concise and accessible overviews of AI in higher education I’ve come across to date. Mollick & AI include just enough but not too much, and provide an incredible amount of food for thought.
If you are an academic wondering how to get started, or are already integrating AI tools in your curriculum and want to further refine your workflows and how you think about AI, this is a great working text.
A word about the narration—Dr. Mollick is a working professor. Knowing this going in, I was eager to hear this read in his voice, as a professor. Yes, he is not a professional voice actor, but I wasn’t interested in being entertained. I listened to this book to learn, and the narration is perfect for that.

Decent as book for AI novices
A brief and pleasant exploration of how AI is shaping the world around us, with tips and suggestions for educators, workers, and students. Best seen as a business book or read by those with little AI exposure.
It's fine to not focus as much on larger AI risk as books can't be about everything, but his reasons for this were not compelling. He said larger existential concerns are disempowering, yet also urged people to become more engaged on the less dramatic AI issues lest their future be decided for them. The same companies and issues are involved in each, so I don't know why he codes them differently.
I sympathize with the difficulties narrating an audiobook but the production would have been better with another narrator.
