Summary of Paul Daugherty & H. James Wilson's Radically Human

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The pandemic proved the validity of many of the trends we were seeing. It also proved that companies were capable of collaborating on a massive scale to produce vaccines, which validated the ideas in our previous book.

#2 The pandemic accelerated the pace of technology adoption. Companies that were laggards in terms of technology adoption before the pandemic were already falling behind at an alarming rate, but now they have been forced to adopt these technologies.

#3 The 2010s were a time of gathering pessimism about the technological road we had been traveling for the past decade. As the decade wore on, innovation lost its innocence. Autonomous vehicles sometimes turned deadly, and Malign actors appeared to hijack social media to influence US politics and subvert democracy across Europe.

#4 The way in which humans interact with intelligent technologies is entering a third stage. In the first stage, AI was used to automate repetitive tasks. Humans were subservient to machines, and many were replaced by them. In the second stage, AI was used to augment human capabilities.
