Who is Ethan Mollick?

Ethan Mollick is an associate professor at Wharton and one of the most visible academic voices on artificial intelligence – visible enough that TIME named him among its Most Influential People in AI for 2024. His research concentrates on the question most of us are quietly asking anyway: what AI actually does to work and to education, rather than what it might do in some distant hypothetical future.

His book Co-Intelligence became a New York Times bestseller, which is no small thing for a work about AI written by a serving academic: it suggests a rare ability to translate research into plain, useful English. Mollick belongs to that small group of scholars whose expertise happens to sit exactly where the world’s attention has landed, at exactly the moment it landed there.

Co-Intelligence is the Mollick title in our catalogue, and the format suits the subject unusually well. AI is a topic that dates quickly and intimidates easily; what survives is framing, and framing is precisely what a bestselling Wharton professor who studies AI’s impact on work and education is equipped to provide. Listened to rather than read, the book functions like an extended, well-organised conversation with someone who has actually done the research.

For UK listeners weighing whether an AI book deserves their hours, the honest case is this: Mollick’s focus – work and education – is the part of the AI story that touches everyone, and audio is a fittingly practical way to take it in, one commute at a time.
