Humans Are Underrated (eBook, ePUB)

What High Achievers Know that Brilliant Machines Never Will

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the dawning age of brilliant machines, what will people do better than computers?

It's easy to imagine a frightening future in which technology takes over the jobs that we now get paid to do, working more accurately and for barely any cost. Computers can already perform surgery, drive vehicles, write articles and do intricate legal work, so what hope will there be for tomorrow's workforce?

Drawing on a wealth of research, Geoff Colvin uncovers the skills that will be in great demand as technology advances - and how they can be developed. In this new machine age, we shouldn't try to beat computers at what they can do. We'll lose that contest. Instead we must look to unlikely places, learn from the best, and cultivate the human abilities that make us unique.

Rezensionen

In Humans are Underrated, Geoff Colvin makes the case that there is no point trying to beat machines at their own game. What makes people special is their inbuilt propensity for social interaction. We work well in groups - communicating, collaborating and, yes, empathising. Our best hope lies in what makes us most different from the logic-processors...in the softer side of human nature.
