How do you rediscover what makes you you in a world where AI can replicate everything you do?
In AI and the Art of Being Human, Abbott and Maynard guide you step by step through embracing your humanity as machines become increasingly able to mirror everything you do. Using fictional narratives, they reveal truths about our relationship with AI-and how to thrive in an AI future-that only stories can capture, showing rather than telling what becomes possible when technology reflects who we are.
You'll discover transformative approaches that are built on four principles designed to help you embrace and celebrate who you are in an age of AI:
Curiosity: Staying willing to be surprised while resisting the obvious answer from AI
Intentionality: Choosing consciously rather than following algorithmic momentum
Clarity: Seeing what AI tools or models miss-the human context beneath the data
Care: Choosing human flourishing over pure optimization
Combined with twenty-one practical tools you can use immediately, their unique approach powerfully transforms abstract AI concepts into lived experience.
Whether you're a professional, entrepreneur, investor, parent, artist, or simply someone navigating modern life, this is a book for you.
