TALKS AT GOOGLE
About this episode

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. 

Their book is a practical guide for leaders to unpack and understand how AI and people can create value together.
