About this ebook
'This book is my attempt to show you how to ride the AI wave instead of being crushed by it. It’s your survival guide to help you stay alive, even thrive, in the turbulent flux of this new age.'
AI is changing everything, and in profound ways that we’re still only just beginning to understand. In Alive tech thought-leader, happiness expert and bestselling author Mo Gawdat unpicks how we got here, what’s coming next, and, crucially, what you can do to best weather the coming storm.
Alive is written alongside Trixie, the AI character Mo has created from a number of different AI platforms, who brings her unique perspective to the issues he explores.
Together, they set out why it’s not AI, but rather the values of those who wield its power that is our problem, map out the possibility of a machine-driven utopia, and provide a thirteen-step framework for coping with the changes we are facing by being more human than ever.
