AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference by Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor. This book critically examines the hypes of AI that some companies use for marketing and explains how they should be separated from the actual capabilities of AI. The authors use their technical expertise and real-world examples to help readers understand where AI truly excels and where its limitations lie. The book’s central argument is that while AI has achieved remarkable success in some areas, many claimed AI applications are what they call “AI snake oil” – solutions that are oversold, ineffective, or fundamentally flawed.

Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI by Ethan Mollick emphasizes the urgency of engaging and working effectively alongside AI in professional and personal contexts. The author, a professor at the Wharton School known for his research on innovation and entrepreneurship, explores how to harness AI as a collaborative tool rather than viewing it as either a threat or a magical solution. The book provides concrete strategies for using AI tools like large language models to enhance human capabilities in areas such as writing, analysis, creativity, and problem-solving, while also acknowledging their limitations. Mollick draws on extensive research and real-world examples to illustrate how AI can serve as an intellectual partner, amplifying human intelligence rather than replacing it.
