I was a tiny bit disappointed by this one, mostly because I found it lacking a lot of foundations and tended to dwell to much on the fascination side of AI. The book also had small contradiction at the beginning, indicating how productivity is very hard to measure, while asserting at the same time that AI provokes a jump of 40 to 80% of productivity (which has since been disproved by many studies).
As insights of the experience of an university professor as well as a good vision of the needs for politics to take action on this technology it was good, but I found it very lacking in terms of the impacts of AI ecologically and very biased toward tech-optimism. Also, this is definitely not a playbook.
Today’s decisions about how AI reflects human values and enhances human potential will reverberate for generations. This is not a challenge that can be solved in a lab—it requires society to grapple with the technology shaping the human condition and what future we want to create. And that process needs to happen, soon
