Fresh perspectives on AI, technology, and the future of work.
Jacob is writing Excelling with AI on an old 1960s Smith Corona typewriter. After talking with a lot of friends, colleagues, and family about the future of AI, he realized that most people are feeling rather unprepared and a bit in the dark about how AI is going to impact them - and the literature around the coming wave of AI technology is rather bleak and written with the perspective that AI is going to completely wipe out life as we know it.
Jacob takes a pragmatic view in this book - AI is probably not going to wipe us out and it is probably going to be a pretty great thing for you. So given that, he wanted to write about some practical strategies for thinking about AI and how you can use it in your life as an opportunity, not doom.
Jacob Solawetz is the author of Excelling with AI and an AI entrepreneur.

Jacob has been passionate about AI technology and its potential for humanity since before neural networks became mainstream.
Through his work and writing, Jacob aims to demystify AI and help individuals harness its power for personal and professional growth in this rapidly evolving technological landscape.
