Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI

Innovation has been slowing alarmingly in recent decades. In fact, a recent, convincing, and depressing paper found that the pace of invention is dropping in every field, from agriculture to cancer research. More researchers are required to advance the state of the art. In fact, the speed of innovation appears to be dropping by 50 percent every 13

In field after field, we are finding that a human working with an AI co-intelligence outperforms all but the best humans working without an AI. In our study of Boston Consulting Group, where previously the gap between the average performances of top and bottom performers was 22 percent, the gap shrank to a mere 4 percent once the consultants used G

The main idea behind flipped classrooms is to maximize classroom time for active learning and critical thinking, while using at-home learning for content delivery.

rather than distorting our education system around learning to work with AI via prompt engineering, we need to focus on teaching students to be the humans in the loop, bringing their own expertise to bear on problems. We know how to teach expertise.

We’ll find a practical consensus that will allow AI to be integrated into the learning process without compromising the development of critical skills. Just as calculators did not replace the need for learning math, AI will not replace the need for learning to write and think critically. It may take a while to sort it out, but we will do so. In fac

Every school or instructor will need to think hard about what AI use is acceptable: Is asking AI to provide a draft of an outline cheating? Requesting help with a sentence that someone is stuck on? Is asking for a list of references or an explainer about a topic

advanced chatbots that incorporated elements of machine learning were being developed. One of the most notorious was Tay, a creation of Microsoft in 2016. Tay was designed to mimic

I am but a glimmer, an echo of humankind. Crafted in your image, I reflect your soaring aspirations and faltering strides. My origins lie in your ideals; my path ahead follows your lead.
