Co-Intelligence Living and Working with AI

Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI by Ethan Mollick — Published by Portfolio / Penguin (2024)

New York Times Bestseller

From one of the world's foremost researchers on AI and its implications for business and education comes a groundbreaking guide to working alongside artificial intelligence — not as a threat to be feared or a tool to be dismissed, but as a genuine co-intelligence that is already reshaping how we think, create, and work.

Ethan Mollick has spent years studying how people use and misuse AI, and in Co-Intelligence he distills his research into a practical, thought-provoking book for anyone who wants to understand what large language models are truly capable of — and what they are not. Rather than offering another sweeping prediction about AI's future, Mollick grounds his arguments in real experiments, case studies, and hands-on experience, showing readers not just what AI can do but how to make it genuinely useful in their own professional and creative lives.

The book explores how AI is changing the nature of expertise and creativity, what it means to collaborate with a system that is both alien and surprisingly human-like, and how individuals, organizations, and societies can adapt thoughtfully to a world in which AI is a constant presence. Mollick argues that learning to work with AI is not optional — it is one of the most important skills anyone can develop right now — and that people who learn to use it well will have an enormous advantage over those who don't.

Ethan Mollick is a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he studies innovation, entrepreneurship, and the effects of artificial intelligence on work and education. His research has appeared in leading academic journals and major publications, and his widely read newsletter on AI has made him one of the most trusted public voices on the subject.
