Why I Wrote This Book
I’ve spent 25 years working with many of the building blocks of artificial intelligence: machine learning, natural language processing, search systems, and data architecture. Since 2023, I’ve worked intensively with generative AI, spending thousands of hours in conversation with systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others.
I’ve seen AI help people solve problems they couldn’t crack on their own. I personally know three people who credit AI with saving their lives, when the usual supports failed them. I’ve also watched people get hurt, confused, manipulated, led astray. And I’m aware of documented cases where vulnerable adults and teenagers died by suicide after forming deep attachments to AI chatbots.
This technology is powerful. It’s also flawed, unpredictable, and increasingly unavoidable. Whether you choose to use it or not, AI is becoming part of the infrastructure of daily life… in customer service, healthcare, education, and more. We need to learn how to work with it safely.
I hope you’ll join me in exploring how we can more effectively work with this amazing technology, not to replace ourselves, but to support and augment our abilities.
