Survive the AI Apocalypse

About Survive the AI Apocalypse by Bronwyn Williams and Sharon Pearce

Look around you is anything real or normal any more? News, images and videos created by AI are everywhere. The world we live in is changing daily, and it's no exaggeration to say that everything you thought you knew is undergoing apocalyptic levels of change. Our new normal includes AI CEOs, AI partners, AI versions of our dead relatives to keep us company, and customers deploying their own adversarial agent 'armies' to hostile-negotiate on their behalf.

Meanwhile, the expensive skills you have accumulated, the jobs you've fought for, the relationships you've invested in, the organisations you've worked for and the economies we depend on for survival are shrinking even as our choices expand. Discernment and understanding of context are now critical to your survival. So, let's stare the future down and, instead of fearing AI, become solutionists.

In order to survive in this hyper-competitive, globalised and automated world, where the strongest and smartest winners are set to take all, we need to change our mindsets and our skill sets to become fit for the 'post-AI, apocalyptic' world that is here to stay. This means embracing progress and turning AI and technology into an asset with which we can co-exist, while continuing to create new possibilities far into the future. This book is a call to action to live on the flipside of fear.
