Titre: AI as a Partner : critical review of the book Co-Intelligence : living and working with AI by Ethan Mollick
Auteur: Martineau, Julien
Résumé: ""We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology
in the short run and underestimate the effect in
the long run¹." This sentence alone sheds light on
why we often seem to be caught off guard by changes
wrought by technologies that at first seem innocuous.
Roy Amara’s quote has even more resonance in the
age of generative artificial intelligence (AI). Who
hasn’t been both amazed and perplexed by ChatGPT’s
capabilities, while struggling to imagine its longterm
impact? This dichotomy between immediate
excitement and future uncertainty perfectly
characterizes our current relationship with AI.This is precisely the context for Ethan Mollick’s
Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI. After
three sleepless nights induced by his first use of
ChatGPT, the author, an associate professor at the
Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania,
begins an in-depth reflection on our inevitable
coexistence with this new form of intelligence.
According to Mollick, we should learn to live
and work alongside generative AI, a tool capable
of making complex connections, using with the
most instinctive thing we have: language. Mollick
thus attempts to answer a crucial question: what
will this world of co-intelligence with AI look
like, and how can we make the most of it without
losing our essence?" -- AQPC
