How do we live alongside machines that are sometimes smarter than us?
We are entering a new era. AI systems can already outperform humans in some domains while failing spectacularly in others. They can act as tutors, collaborators, researchers, strategists and creators … yet they can also produce falsehoods, generate convincing nonsense and fail unpredictably. The challenge is no longer simply adopting new technology. It is learning how to think, work and live in a world where machines are sometimes smarter than us.
In Co-Existence, Ethan Mollick – a Wharton professor and author of the widely read One Useful Thing newsletter – argues that the future of AI will not be defined by replacement, but by interaction.
Drawing on years of research, experimentation and frontline experience with rapidly evolving AI systems, Mollick shows readers how to:
Clear-eyed, practical and written with warmth and humor, Co-Existence is your guide to navigating the next phase of the AI revolution.

‘Co-Existence is an indispensable guide to navigating the jagged frontier where technology and humanity meet – and to harnessing the extraordinary possibilities that emerge when they work together.’ DOUG McMILLON

AI is the future - but what will that future look like? Will superhuman intelligence be our slave, or become our god?
Taking us to the heart of the latest thinking about AI, Max Tegmark, the MIT professor whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial, separates myths from reality, utopias from dystopias, to explore the next phase of our existence.
How can we grow our prosperity through automation, without leaving people lacking income or purpose? How can we ensure that future AI systems do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will AI help life flourish as never before, or will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, and even, perhaps, replace us altogether?

Is AI your greatest opportunity or your biggest blind spot? Expert Fola Yahaya offers a wry, intelligent look at the tech creeping into every corner of our world, and what you can do about it.
We've been told that artificial intelligence (AI) will both destroy and create jobs, fuel and strangle creativity, be our friend and deceive us, and not only take our orders at the drive-thru, but flip the burgers, too. So what exactly is AI? And what does it mean for us?
