國前國務卿 ╳ Google前執行長 ╳ MIT首任計算學院院長
當ChatGPT浪潮來襲,我們應該如何因應?
政治、經濟、科技三大巨頭的頂尖對談


人工智慧必將帶來劃時代的改變,會扭轉我們的社會、經濟、政治和外交政策,這一切影響遠遠超過任何領域的傳統範疇,而我們做好準備了嗎?

三位世界上極富成就的思想家齊聚一堂,思考人工智慧將如何改變我們與知識、政治和所生活的社會之間的關係,探索人工智慧對我們所有人的意義。我們正在經歷一個空前的、不同於以往的時代。

在各領域中,人工智慧都展現其強烈的存在感與可能性,如ChatGPT的出現,快速又具有「人味」的聊天生成模型,颳起了一陣旋風。且運用在戰爭上,人工智慧噴氣式飛機在模擬空戰中擊敗經驗豐富的人類飛行員。戰爭局勢在當今世界一觸即發,並時刻變化,將人工智慧的「非人邏輯」導入,軍事系統與流程會改變戰略,創造出新的維度,甚至包括了能自行選擇目標、不需人類介入就交戰的系統。

因此,當代三位跨領域的世界領導者提出,關於人工智慧最重要的議題是人類監督與適時干預的能力 ,並探討人工智慧的使用倫理是什麼?在龐大的益處背後潛伏著哪些危機,而我們又該如何面對日新月異的人工智慧?

A revelatory book on rethinking change and creating a rugged and flexible mindset amidst life's intensifying flux, from expert on sustainable excellence, coach, and bestselling author of The Practice of Groundedness.

From social disruptions like economic recessions, pandemics, and new technologies to individual disruptions like getting married, career transitions, and becoming a parent, we undergo change and transformation—both good and bad—regularly. Change is not the exception, it’s the rule. Yet we endlessly fight it, often viewing it as a threat to our stability and sense of self.

Master of Change flips this script on its head and offers a path for embracing and even growing from life’s constant instability.

Brad Stulberg, sustainable excellence expert, coach, and bestselling author of The Practice of Groundedness, offers a new model that describes change as an ongoing cycle of order, disorder, and reorder—yes, we return to stability, but that stability is somewhere new. Drawing on modern science, ancient wisdom, and daily practice, Stulberg offers concrete principles for developing a mindset called rugged flexibility, along with habits and practices to implement it. Along the way, Stulberg reveals:

• How to be in conversation with change instead of it happening to you.
• The importance of expectations
• Why cultivating a rugged yet flexible sense of self is key to a strong identity.
• How to take productive action during a challenge.
• The paradox of both making meaning and moving forward.

In the end, Stulberg reshapes our entire perception of change and shows us how to grow in its midst—ultimately helping us move forward better, stronger, and wiser than we were before.

Advance: The Ultimate How-To Guide For Your Career

The how-to guide for your career

Advance is extremely timely and topical in today's do-it-yourself career development world. Average job tenure has fallen to about four years on average and often only one or two years for younger professionals. These "career nomads" simply aren't around long enough to access career development from their employers. On the other end of the workplace spectrum, many employees find themselves stuck in one job without a promotion, without any raise to speak of, and with no opportunities to learn and grow.

In Advance, Burnison lays out a mosaic of "how-to" advice that applies every day and at every level―the skills and behaviors that help people navigate their careers and stand out among the crowd. He takes on a "Top 20" of career must-haves: managing for the first time, engaging in the "money conversation" with your boss, dealing with difficult bosses (without quitting), coping with coworkers (without losing your mind), making presentations (that don't put people to sleep), mastering digital communication (and avoiding emails that will get you fired), thinking globally (without leaving your office), taking an overseas assignment, meeting senior leaders for the first time (without putting your foot in your mouth), navigating political waters (without sinking your career), reading and fitting in with the culture, and more.

• Wisdom on taking your career to the next level
• Career development tips
• Guidance on being seen and heard
• Written by the CEO of one of the world’s largest management consulting firms

Whether you’re just starting your career, high up on the ladder, or “stuck” anywhere in between, Advance gives you the know-how to get on a path to where you want to go.
