Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI

Incredibly amazing..so easy to read,very practical examples and perfect explanations

The book is interesting. In the world where much of the work force is worried on their replacement by AI, the book emphasis on the pros of AI and how could we make it a part of our life. Make use of it, to become irreplaceable.

Ethan Mollick's "Co-Intelligence" is the perfect primer for AI newcomers and a blazer of new trails for the old hands. It cuts through the AI mystique, offering a witty, pragmatic look at AI's present and potential role in our lives. Mollick engages readers with his considerable scholarship and varied, extensive experimentation with AI, presenting AI as a partner in work and learning. The book's optimism is palpable, yet it doesn't ignore the ethical dilemmas AI presents. Nor does it fail to emhasize the need for the users of AI not to make their own creativity, as also the quality and depth of their own thinking and reasoning subservient to AI. Nor, in fact, does it fail to present scenarios about the future of AI that are anything but glowing. Mollick's choice to prioritize practicality over complexity makes the book both more readable and 'actionable'. Thus, whether you are just a man in the street, or the head hocho of a big corporation or a passionate teacher or student, this book is for you. Don't miss it for anything.

For last 2 years I heard a lot on Chat gpt and artificial intelligence..... this book gave them the 1st opportunity to understand LLM , what is LLM , their architecture, how they work and how we can leverage them in our life to be more productive... author very clearly explains how to use it as a companion and I clearly see a lot of uses ..... LLM once fully understood by the society in large will increase the level of transformation in the society and make humans more intelligent than what they are now.... he also explains various scenarios on how it will transform our life

Worth reading for an understanding of AI.

This is the age of LLMs, and as stated in the book. We are using the worst possible LLM. Though the future (as they say in star wars) is clouded. But there are certainly ways to make these tools help us. This books gives us the idea of how to do that. Not only this book, but Ethan Mollick has a must read substack worth following and reading

The book has its moments, but overall, it feels like a rehash of concepts often found in articles. It's neither groundbreaking nor particularly memorable, hovering in the realm of mediocrity.

Provides a refreshing perspective of AI and what the future might be because of it. There’s a lot of myths floating around about AI, and this book helps one to get grounded information about AI

Excellent

Before you buy this book - answer these questions: Do you know what AI is and a bit about its history? Do you know what an LLM is? Do you know how it works? Do you use AI daily? Do you know what it's good and bad at? Are you aware a human should always be in the loop? Do you have a pretty good idea of where this technology is going, but are self-aware enough to know that you don't have a crystal ball? If the answer to those questions is 'yes', then you don't need this book. However, there are loads of people in this world who would answer 'no' to a lot of those questions. And in their case, this book is a very well written primer. It could do without a lot of the anecdotes the writer shoves in, but hey, I guess that makes it relatable and sellable. Just be aware: This is content pitched at beginners and it's not suited to an experienced daily user with existing technical background.

This book is one of the most fascinating reads I’ve come across in the last five years. It cuts through the noise and gives a clear, insightful perspective on AI—what it is, what it isn’t, and how to use it effectively. Instead of fearmongering or hype, CO-INTELLIGENCE lays out a practical roadmap for working with AI, showing how it can be a powerful tool rather than a threat. It helped me understand not just the technology itself, but also how to integrate it into real-world scenarios in a way that’s both productive and ethical. If you’re looking for a book that demystifies AI and teaches you how to use it wisely, this is it. Highly recommended!

brilliant book

Great introduction to AI and how it impacts the whole society.
