Joint report by Ethan Malik: A guide focuses on a person to work with artificial intelligence

Where artificial intelligence restores every corner of the professional and creative scene, one of the most urgent questions we face is: How do we work with it – not besides that? Ethan Malik, Professor at Warton College at the University of Pennsylvania, provides an insightful answer in his new book, Joint conglomerate: living and working with artificial intelligence.

Instead of winning abstract future contracts or reliable technical promises, Mollick provides something more practical and timely: user’s guide for this extraordinary moment. His book enables readers – teachers and businessmen to executives and students – to involve artificial intelligence as a collaborator, and not an alternative.

Basic idea: Humans + AI as participating partners

In the heart Participate in the fly Does Maclik believe that artificial intelligence is not just a tool or threat – it is a new type of workshop. LLMS models such as GPT-4 are, in his opinion, the “strange intelligence” that mimic perception, create original outputs, and respond dynamically to human intent. But unlike the past machines, these systems are born, innovative, and – completely – active.

Instead of fear of displacement, Malik urges us to embrace Amnesty International’s strengths while staying firmly “in the episode.” The four guidelines of the joint bloc are clear and implemented:

Always invite Amnesty International to the table
Use artificial intelligence regularly and widely – donation is the only way to know what you can do.
Be a person in the episode
Do not depend blindly on the output. Always achieve, manufacture and improve what artificial intelligence produces.
Deal with artificial intelligence like a person, but tell him about the role he plays
Determine clear claims and borders – whether you want a coach, critic or collaborator.
Suppose this is the worst Amnesty International that you will use ever
Since the models are greatly improving, today’s tools are just a start.

These principles put Amnesty International as an amplifier for the strong sound of human capabilities – if, and only, if we interact with it in a critical and creative manner.

From theory to practice: Amnesty International at work, at school and beyond

Mickel’s research and examples in the real world breathe life in these ideas. He participates in how his students use artificial intelligence to present ideas, and how professionals see consulting and marketing performance gains by combining human insight with the creativity of the machine, and how he himself uses LLMS for everything from curricula design to simulation discussions.

In one of the experiments, Malik noticed that consultants who use artificial intelligence improved their performance about 40 %Even without specific training. These are not abstract standards – they are early indications that “Centaur” (Humans + AI) and “Sipurg” (deep integration between humans and machines) may become a new basis for professional excellence.

The book also explores how artificial intelligence can work as:

Teacher To help students and learners for life to get more deep.
trainer To help professionals improve communication and leadership.
a partner In writing, coding and creative expression.
simulation To test ideas, script analysis, and play roles.

More importantly, Maclik never provides Amnesty International as flawless. It highlights known issues such as hallucinations (the lies created from artificial intelligence), the bias of data, and the lack of contextual understanding. However, he argues that these are not reasons for breaking down – but to share more intelligence.

The point of view is measured on artificial intelligence futures

In a landscape full of noise and fear, Participate in the fly It takes a refreshing medium path. Mickel determines four possible paths for the future of artificial intelligence:

recession Slowness of progress, artificial intelligence plateaux.
Mutation Fixed improvements bringing new efficiency.
flaw Rapid development increases industries and jobs.
Machine gods scenario Fugitive intelligence changes the nature of civilization.

While admitting the ability of each of them, Mickel resists the speculative destruction. Instead, it remains on the basis of now, as real decisions are made on how to combine these systems into work, education and society. The message is simple: The more we learn to work with artificial intelligence today, the more the agency that seems to us about what looks like tomorrow.

Access, not abstraction

One of the most prominent aspects Participate in the fly It is how much it reads. MolLick avoids technical terms, and instead chooses connective metaphors and live examples. Artificial intelligence compares to a useful “smart trainee”, but it needs supervision – or a genie that gives desires but requires carefully formulated orders.

This approach makes the book an ideal starting point for non -technical readers. However, experienced professionals will find value in the strategic framework and implementable suggestions.

What Participate in the fly And not

Mickel’s book is not a deep diving in the structure of machine learning, as it is not a political statement. Readers looking for detailed treatments for alignment, organization or existential risks may find very light. But this is according to the design. Mollick concentration, not speculation. He wants us to use artificial intelligence now, with responsibility and creativity.

Final judgment: Reading required for the era of artificial intelligence

in Participate in the flyEthan Malik provides what may be the most balanced and useful artificial intelligence book. It is not breathing or bleak – it is pragmatic, curious and above all, optimistic.

While Amnesty International’s addresses swing between panic and preaching, Micke gives us something more valuable: a deliberate framework for work. Whether you are an executive, teacher, founder, or simply of artificial intelligence, this book will make you better equipped to form the future, not only alive.

It is recommended to:

Knowledge workers looking to use artificial intelligence to enhance productivity
Teachers who integrate artificial intelligence in curricula and instructions
Entrepreneurs the initial models of the organization
Political consultants, team leadership, and content creators who explore the use of moral artificial intelligence
