This timely book affirms that humans can flourish in the Age of AI by relying on their distinctive strengths. It explores the skills and knowledge required to interact effectively, efficiently, and responsibly with AIs—both today and in the future.

In Part I, this book develops the Cognitive Amplifier Loop, which allows humans to use AI to build on their cognitive and emotional strengths and manage their limitations. Kosslyn discusses ways to employ this loop to offload tasks to AI and to utilize it to train us effectively and efficiently, as well as how to use it to both learn and engage in critical thinking and creative problem-solving—and manage cognitive and emotional constraints.

Part II establishes how to draw on the Cognitive Amplifier Loop to help us improve our human relationships, addressing emotional intelligence, effective communication, leadership, followership, and collaboration skills.

Finally, Part III builds on previous chapters to consider how to interact with AIs to help each of us learn and grow. Throughout the book, Kosslyn provides practical strategies and AI-assisted exercises to help readers develop these essential skills and knowledge. Kosslyn argues that by cultivating distinctively human capabilities, we can not only coexist with AI but flourish in an AI-infused world.
