Description
Summary:"What is your purpose when a machine is perfect? What is the value of a human mind when all the world's answers are free? What skills will matter when AI handles all the answers, and automation replaces cognitive work? As artificial intelligence transforms every aspect of our lives--from the jobs we hold to the teams we build to the way we educate out children--these questions have never been more urgent. In ROBOT-PROOF: WHEN MACHINES HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, BUILD BETTER PEOPLE, theoretical neuroscientist and serial entrepreneur Vivienne Ming--a self-described "professional mad scientist"--delivers a brilliant, wry, and deeply personal guide to our AI-driven future. The book explores what it truly means to be human when machines have all the answers. Weaving together her own unbelievable life story--from homelessness to building an AI to treat her son's diabetes--with cutting-edge neuroscience and a healthy dose of humor, Dr. Ming provides a playbook that is as entertaining as it is profound"--Front jacket flap.
