Book review: Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI
Frances Valintine CNZM is all about the future—of education, work, and now mental wellbeing. As the founder of The Mind Lab and Tech Futures Lab, she’s been helping people adapt to the ever-changing tech landscape for years.
If you’ve read Frances’ thought-provoking piece about AI’s role in our lives, and you’re curious to know more, Ethan Mollick’s Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI is your next must-read.
Like Frances, Ethan is an AI enthusiast. In his book, he uses wit to unpack the complex relationship between humans and AI and he shares real-world examples of how AI tools are reshaping industries and opening doors to opportunities we never imagined. It’s a guide to understanding how AI can enhance collaboration, boost creativity, and even support mental wellness – futuristic robots not included.
What makes this book stand out is its focus on partnership. Just like Frances, Ethan doesn’t see AI as something to fear but as a co-worker we need to understand and work alongside. Themes from Valintine’s article—like the integration of AI in promoting mental well-being and addressing burnout—are echoed here, offering practical ways we can use AI for good.
We’ve loved Co-Intelligence for its fresh perspective. Anyone who is looking to navigate the AI era with curiosity will find this book an inspiring and enjoyable read check the link below to read Frank Rose of the Wall Street Journal's review
