The Co-Intelligence Revolution: How Humans and AI Co-Create New Value | Talks at Google

Authors Venkat Ramaswamy & Krishnan Narayanan join us to discuss their book The Co-Intelligence Revolution: How Humans and AI Co-Create New Value. We stand at the dawn of a new industrial revolution—not one defined by automation and substitution of human intelligence, but by co-intelligence, where human ingenuity and AI (as a different kind of intelligence) collaborate in ways never before imagined. Their book demonstrates this call to action to co-create a world where intelligence emerges from the interactive, ever-evolving relationships between humans, AI, and ecosystems.
