“Powell and Kleiner find us on the razor’s edge: we cannot go back
to a world before AI (nor, they reassure, would we want to). But
the path forward, unchecked, is equally unpalatable. Their question
is simple: “How can we create a world in which we gain value from
this technology without losing our humanity?” Their
answers—captured in seven principles—are complex and profound. You
will not find wiser, more careful, more caring guides to this brave
new world than the two authors of The AI Dilemma.”
—Amy Edmondson, Professor, Harvard Business School, and author of
The Fearless Organization
“This book could not have come at a more appropriate time. AI is
going to dominate our lives even more than it does today. Like
cars, the internet, and smartphones, AI will change our lives and
improve them but will also require careful management by society to
mitigate the possible damage it might cause. Powell and Kleiner
have created a thought-provoking work and a must-read for all
living in this disruptive moment.”
—Ron Dembo, author of Risk Thinking and founder and CEO,
RiskThinking.AI
“The impact of AI will be massive—and it’s essential that we take
steps now to ensure the impact is positive. This thought-provoking
book shows what it will take to restore trust in our institutions
and in our digital infrastructures so that our most advanced
technologies operate on behalf of all people.”
—Dorie Clark, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Long
Game and executive education faculty, Duke University Fuqua School
of Business
“With the benefit of Powell and Kleiner’s clear-eyed explanations
of what we’re actually dealing with when it comes to AI, we may yet
avoid the mistakes we made with the internet and pretty much every
technology before it. As they demonstrate, this time it matters
even more that we do.”
—Douglas Rushkoff, author of Present Shock, Team Human, and
Survival of the Richest
“Our future as humans depends on coexisting with intelligent
machines, some that might seem to have supernatural powers.
Juliette Powell and Art Kleiner with this book help you understand
this coming future and the perils of conventional thinking. I am
learning so much, and it is challenging some of my preconceived
notions.”
—Om Malik, writer and Partner Emeritus, True Ventures
