Learning to Flourish in the Age of AI

This timely book affirms that humans can flourish in the Age of AI by relying on their unique strengths, and explores the skills and knowledge that are required to interact effectively, efficiently and responsibly with AIs, both today and in the future. In Part I, this book develops the "Cognitive Amplifier Loop," which allows humans to use AI to build on their cognitive and emotional strengths and manage their limitations. Kosslyn discusses ways to use this loop to off-load tasks to AI and to use AI to train us effectively and efficiently, as well as how to use it to both learn and engage in critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and manage cognitive and emotional constraints. Part II establishes how to draw on the Cognitive Amplifier Loop to help us improve our human relationships, addressing emotional intelligence, effective communication, leadership, followership, and collaboration skills. The final part builds on previous chapters to consider how to interact with AIs to help each of us learn and grow. Throughout the book, Kosslyn provides practical strategies and AI-assisted exercises to help readers develop these essential skills and knowledge. Kosslyn argues that by cultivating uniquely human capabilities, we can not only coexist with AI but flourish in an AI-infused world. This book is a must-read for anyone involved with AI, Education, or Learning & Development divisions in industry. It will also appeal to anyone studying thinking and decision-making, AI and psychology, and the use of technology in the classroom.
