42. Co-Intelligence: Navigating the AI-Human Partnership

This week, we are joined by Ethan Mollick, author of the New York Times bestseller 'Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI'. Ethan introduces the concept behind his book —  co-intelligence — and explains the need for a collaborative relationship between humans and AI in which humans retain firm control over AI systems. He explores the transformative potential of AI across various industries, including the inevitable growing pains as jobs change or become obsolete. Ethan shares insights from his personal experiences with AI in the classroom. He believes there are real risks associated with its increasing use, such as cheating and deep fakes, but argues that AI will also play a part in the necessary democratization of education and enhanced learning outcomes
