Co-Intelligence: The Definitive, Bestselling Guide to Living and Working with AI

by Ethan Mollick

The future of understanding how AI impacts work involves understanding how human interaction with AI changes, depending on where tasks are placed on this frontier and how the frontier will change. That takes time and experience, which is why it is important to stick with the principle of inviting AI to everything, letting us learn the shape of the Jagged Frontier and how it maps onto the unique complex of tasks that comprise our individual jobs. With that knowledge, we need to be conscious about the tasks we are giving AI, so as to take advantage of its strengths and our weaknesses. We want to be more efficient while doing less boring work, and to remain the human in the loop while also addressing the value of AI. To do this well, we need a framework, where we divide our tasks into categories that are more or less suitable for AI disruption.
