Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI

In November 2022, a new general-purpose AI emerged that could perform creative and innovative work previously done only by humans. Wharton professor Ethan Mollick recognized the significance of this development and has since become a prominent explainer of AI's practical applications through his writing, speaking, and teaching. Co-Intelligence presents a playbook for working, learning, and living with AI. Mollick argues that humans have developed a form of co-intelligence—AI that can augment or replace human thinking. He urges engagement with AI as a co-worker, co-teacher, and coach, and assesses its impact on business and education through real-time examples. The book explores what it means to think and work alongside intelligent machines and why developing this skill is essential. Mollick addresses how to use AI's power while maintaining human identity, learn from it without being misled, and apply it toward creating a better human future. The book is wide-ranging, thought-provoking, optimistic, and clear in revealing the promise and power of this new era.
