About this episode

Rick Upchuch shares insights from his course on Generative AI, focusing on key principles outlined in Ethan Mollick's book, Co-Intelligence.

I’m just finishing up the second course in a four-course graduate certificate in artificial intelligence. This class is called Generative AI for Productivity, and our textbook is Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick.It’s been a fascinating course. I’ve learned things that genuinely help me understand how AI works and how it can be used—wisely—in the workplace. Early in his book, Mollick outlines four key principles about artificial intelligence. I thought it would be helpful to share those with you, because they offer a clear, grounded perspective on what AI can—and can’t—do for us.
