A compelling story to expand the human’s perspective on
the new, unprecedented world of AI
In Robot-Proof: When Machines Have All the Answers,
Build Better People, Dr. Vivienne Ming, “a force in AI unlike any we have
seen before” (Mark Minevich, Forbes), helps readers grasp the ugly
and the amazing of how individuals, companies, and societies will respond to
the changes that are already taking hold due to the advent of AI. Rather than a
wonky textbook on machine learning or a utopian/dystopian (take your pick)
screed, Robot-Proof is a book about people, exploring what it
means to be human in an increasingly automated world.
This book presents, then answers, pressing questions that
readers may or may not have thought to themselves, such as:
- What
predicts long-term life outcomes across millions of little kids?
- What
drives career success in both hyper-networked salespeople and hyper-nerdy
programmers?
- Why
is the Informational-Exploration Paradox the most terrifying phenomenon
you’ve never heard of?
- What
predicts the smartest team and how will AI change it?
- Why
are ill-posed problems the future work, education, and a
robot-proof humanity?
With poignant insight and delicate care to keep us grounded
in the human perspective, Robot-Proof is an entertaining and
thought-provoking read for all individuals seeking to understand the next steps
in a new and completely unprecedented world.
