Rob's Holiday AI Reading List

#1 – Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI by Ethan Mollick

Mollick has become a leader in all things AI on social media (he's a University of Pennsylvania professor) and has written one of the best mainstream AI books to date. Required reading for anybody who wants to be an AI professional of any kind.

#2 – Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education by Salman Khan

As an AI and business educator and the dad of a 10-year-old, I'm very excited to dig into this book by the founder of Khan Academy. Education and medicine are the two areas in "real life" that I think will be most changed by AI in the next decade (that's not counting things like writing and media, which are mostly digital these days).

#3 – AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference by Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor

I anticipate disliking / disagreeing with most of what is in this book, but I think it's very important for AI optimists to deeply understand what AI pessimists believe and how they're thinking about the future of computing. Also, I love a good "devil's advocate" session 🙂
