My holiday AI reading list π
|
Hey Reader, Hope you're getting ready for a wonderful holiday season! Thanks so much for being part of the Innovating with AI community this year. π βοΈ πΎ Here's what's coming next year plus what I'm reading during holiday downtime... β’β’β’ We'll be opening enrollment in The AI Consultancy Project in January. You're already on the list to get all the details, but if you also want to get extra-early access, sign up for text or WhatsApp alerts here. β’β’β’ Rob's Holiday AI Reading List#1 β 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 β 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 βΒ AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Canβt, 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 π β’β’β’ π€© Bonus β A Book by an Innovating with AI Student! I'm thrilled to share that Chuck Bolton, one of our students in both The AI Consultancy Project and The AI Incubator, has released a new book on AI! Check out The CEO's AI Playbook and reply to let me know what you think! β’β’β’ That's all for today! As always, if you have any questions or topic ideas, just reply. Have a great day, β Rob Howard |

Hey Reader, A super-quick share for today β last night I got access to Sora, the new video-generation model from OpenAI. I handed the keyboard to my 10-year-old son to see what he'd do with it, and here are the results: Yes, that's a Corgi Taco Police Chase Watch: Our First Look at Sora Video AI β’β’β’ (By the way, be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for lots more free tutorials and walkthroughs like this.)

Hey Reader, I hope life, work and the world of AI are treating you well! We're back with 3 big things in AI.

Hey Reader, I hope life, work and the world of AI are treating you well! We're back with 3 big things in AI.
