Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI

For last 2 years I heard a lot on Chat gpt and artificial intelligence..... this book gave them the 1st opportunity to understand LLM , what is LLM , their architecture, how they work and how we can leverage them in our life to be more productive... author very clearly explains how to use it as a companion and I clearly see a lot of uses ..... LLM once fully understood by the society in large will increase the level of transformation in the society and make humans more intelligent than what they are now.... he also explains various scenarios on how it will transform our life

The book is interesting. In the world where much of the work force is worried on their replacement by AI, the book emphasis on the pros of AI and how could we make it a part of our life. Make use of it, to become irreplaceable.

Ethan Mollick's "Co-Intelligence" is the perfect primer for AI newcomers and a blazer of new trails for the old hands. It cuts through the AI mystique, offering a witty, pragmatic look at AI's present and potential role in our lives. Mollick engages readers with his considerable scholarship and varied, extensive experimentation with AI, presenting AI as a partner in work and learning. The book's optimism is palpable, yet it doesn't ignore the ethical dilemmas AI presents. Nor does it fail to emhasize the need for the users of AI not to make their own creativity, as also the quality and depth of their own thinking and reasoning subservient to AI. Nor, in fact, does it fail to present scenarios about the future of AI that are anything but glowing. Mollick's choice to prioritize practicality over complexity makes the book both more readable and 'actionable'. Thus, whether you are just a man in the street, or the head hocho of a big corporation or a passionate teacher or student, this book is for you. Don't miss it for anything.

This is the age of LLMs, and as stated in the book. We are using the worst possible LLM. Though the future (as they say in star wars) is clouded. But there are certainly ways to make these tools help us. This books gives us the idea of how to do that. Not only this book, but Ethan Mollick has a must read substack worth following and reading

Very good read. Gives insightful info on using AI as a companion

The book has its moments, but overall, it feels like a rehash of concepts often found in articles. It's neither groundbreaking nor particularly memorable, hovering in the realm of mediocrity.

Provides a refreshing perspective of AI and what the future might be because of it. There’s a lot of myths floating around about AI, and this book helps one to get grounded information about AI

Horrible quality of print. When you pay 3 times for the hardcover version, one would expect better quality. But the paper and print quality was unbelievably poor.

Amazing book ! Genuinely nice to read and informative, I learned a lot about AI, what it is and what it’s definitely not.

brilliant book

Co-Intelligence doesn’t shout. It teaches. With a tone that’s grounded, encouraging, and refreshingly jargon-free, Ethan Mollick offers a roadmap for working with AI rather than reacting to it. Whether you’re experimenting as a creative, an educator, a small business owner, or simply trying to stay relevant, this book gives you the context and confidence to step in. What resonated most with me was its practical, permission-giving approach: you don’t need to be technical, you just need to be curious. Mollick strips away the hype and fear and instead reframes AI as a tool for co-creation and thinking better. The examples are thoughtful, the strategies are accessible, and the mindset shift is real.

Great introduction to AI and how it impacts the whole society.
