Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI

Writer: Ethan Mollick

In Co-Intelligence, Wharton professor Ethan Mollick offers a practical and optimistic guide to collaborating with artificial intelligence in daily life and work. He introduces four core principles: always invite AI to the table, be the human in the loop, treat AI like a person (but specify what kind), and assume this is the worst AI you’ll ever use. Mollick emphasizes that AI should augment human capabilities, not replace them, and encourages readers to experiment with AI tools to understand their strengths and limitations. Through real-world examples, he illustrates how AI can serve as a coworker, tutor, and creative partner, enhancing productivity and innovation. The book also addresses ethical considerations and the evolving nature of AI, urging readers to stay informed and adaptable. Whether you’re an educator, professional, or curious individual, Co-Intelligence provides valuable insights into integrating AI thoughtfully and effectively into various aspects of life
