About this episode

Venkat Ramaswamy and Krishnan Narayanan discuss their book on the collaboration between humans and AI in creating new value.

A new industrial revolution is here – not one defined by automation and the substitution of human intelligence, but by co-intelligence, where human ingenuity and AI collaborate. Authors Venkat Ramaswamy & Krishnan Narayanan join Google to discuss their book, The Co-Intelligence Revolution: How Humans and AI Co-Create New Value. Venkat is a professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. He first introduced the idea of co-creation in 2004 in his bestselling book, "The Future of Competition." Fun fact: His scholarly work has over 40,000 Google Scholar citations. Krishnan is the Co-Founder and President of Itihaasa Research and Digital, where he studies emerging technologies and innovations. Previously, he was a member of the Infosys Labs Management Council.
