Thrive: Maximizing Well-Being in the Age of AI
By Anindya Ghose and Ravi Bapna
AI is a powerful general-purpose technology that is reshaping the modern economy, but misperceptions about AI stand in the way of harnessing it for the betterment of humanity. In Thrive, NYU Stern Professor Anindya Ghose and Ravi Bapna (Carlson School of Management) counter the backlash by showcasing how AI is positively influencing the aspects of our daily lives that we care most about: our health and wellness, relationships, education, the workplace, and domestic life. In the process, the authors help explain the underlying technology and give people the agency they need to shape the debate around how we should regulate AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks.
Bringing over two decades of experience with cutting-edge research, consulting, executive coaching, and advising to bear on the subject, Ghose and Bapna demystify the technology of AI itself. They offer a novel “House of AI” framework that encompasses traditional analytics, generative AI, and fair and ethical deployment of AI. Using examples from everyday life they showcase how the modern AI-powered ecosystem fundamentally improves the emotional, physical, and material well-being of regular people across the globe. Thrive’s mission is to educate the public about AI, shape realistic expectations, and foster informed discussions about a fast-emerging AI shaped society.
