AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom Wharton professor and author of the popular One Useful Thing Substack newsletter Ethan Mollick comes the definitive playbook for working, learning, and living in the new age of AISomething new entered our world in November 2022 — the first general purpose AI that could pass for a human and do the kinds of creative, innovative work that only humans could do previously. Wharton professor Ethan Mollick immediately understood what ChatGPT meant: after millions of years on our own, humans had developed a kind of co-intelligence that could augment, or even replace, human thinking. Through his writing, speaking, and teaching, Mollick has become one of the most prominent and provocative explainers of AI, focusing on the practical aspects of how these new tools for thought can transform our world. In Co-Intelligence, Mollick urges us to engage with AI as co-worker, co-teacher, and coach. He assesses its profound impact on business and education, using dozens of real-time examples of AI in action. Co-Intelligence shows what it means to think and work together with smart machines, and why it's imperative that we master that skill. Mollick challenges us to utilize AI's enormous power without losing our identity, to learn from it without being misled, and to harness its gifts to create a better human future. Wide ranging, hugely thought-provoking, optimistic, and lucid, Co-Intelligence reveals the promise and power of this new era. Read more

"The most important book on AI this year." --The Guardian"Mr. Russell's exciting book goes deep, while sparkling with dry witticisms." --The Wall Street Journal"The most important book I have read in quite some time" (Daniel Kahneman); "A must-read" (Max Tegmark); "The book we've all been waiting for" (Sam Harris)A leading artificial intelligence researcher lays out a new approach to AI that will enable us to coexist successfully with increasingly intelligent machinesIn the popular imagination, superhuman artificial intelligence is an approaching tidal wave that threatens not just jobs and human relationships, but civilization itself. Conflict between humans and machines is seen as inevitable and its outcome all too predictable.In this groundbreaking book, distinguished AI researcher Stuart Russell argues that this scenario can be avoided, but only if we rethink AI from the ground up. Russell begins by exploring the idea of intelligence in humans and in machines. He describes the near-term benefits we can expect, from intelligent personal assistants to vastly accelerated scientific research, and outlines the AI breakthroughs that still have to happen before we reach superhuman AI. He also spells out the ways humans are already finding to misuse AI, from lethal autonomous weapons to viral sabotage.If the predicted breakthroughs occur and superhuman AI emerges, we will have created entities far more powerful than ourselves. How can we ensure they never, ever, have power over us? Russell suggests that we can rebuild AI on a new foundation, according to which machines are designed to be inherently uncertain about the human preferences they are required to satisfy. Such machines would be humble, altruistic, and committed to pursue our objectives, not theirs. This new foundation would allow us to create machines that are provably deferential and provably beneficial. Read more

This book is an introduction to the geometric theory used to design linkage systems that are critical components of machines ranging from vehicle suspensions to robot arms. The focus throughout is on graphical synthesis of linkages to control the movement of the legs for a walking machine. Increasingly complicated walking machines obtained from patent drawings, art and technology are used to motivate the theory. Starting with legs formed by rotating cranks, we move to legs constructed from four bar linkages with specially shaped coupler curves. This leads to a search for coupler points that have near straight line trajectories, and motivates constructions for the inflection circle and cubic of stationary curvature. We also consider cognate linkages and those with symmetric coupler curves. The use of an RR chain controlled by the coupler of a four-bar linkage is our introduction to six-bar linkages. Then skew pantographs that provide scaling and reorientation of a coupler curve for better walking movement yields eight-bar linkages. The legs designed by Theo Jensen and Amanda Gassaei are shown to implement four bar function generators that control the joint movement of an RR chain. This leads to graphical two and three position synthesis of four-bar function generators, which are applied to the design of legs with two and three specified configurations. We end with a description of the duty factor and support pattern needed for two, four and six legged walking machines. The challenge of steering and suspension is left for the future. Read more
