With the recent introduction of revolutionary new AI technologies, most notably ChatGPT, it has become evident that we are undergoing the greatest transformation in history – nothing less than a revolution in the way we live and work. Yet the only people likely to be worse off are those who don’t use AI.

Instead of Artificial Intelligence, Dr Justin Cohen believes AI should be thought of as Augmented Intelligence, a way to empower us rather than replace us. (Hence the author name: Dr Justin Cohen, AI.) As such, he sees What The Future as a software update for what is still the greatest computer in the known universe: the human brain.

Install the update to turn AI into you and your team’s Augmented Intelligence, and you will discover:

• The chance of an AI apocalypse destroying humankind (low!);
• When AI is likely to take your job – and how to get a better one;
• Why we are in an epidemic of anxiety and depression;
• How to safeguard your mental health through exponential change;
• The human advantage and how to capitalise on it;
• How AI could solve the problems of poverty, crime and ageing;
• How to create an agile culture of continual learning;

Get ready to feel the future, with stunning AI-generated imagery that enhance the story-telling and bring the book to life. More than a handbook on thriving in an AI world, this is the story of humans, from their prehistoric beginning to what may be near, the most transformative moment in history. See how humans have always thrived through change, and how you can do the same.
