A frank hands-on guide to using AI at work unpacking for the curious and skeptical alike the
“24 Laws” of AI and revealing strategies that businesses of every size can use to free up time
innovate and add to the bottom line—from a Wall Street Journal tech columnist “The antidote
to AI panic. Read it. You’ll breathe easier.”—Scott Galloway NYU Stern School of Business
professor and co-host of Pivot with Kara Swisher “A clear practical and hype-free guide to
the AI revolution that will resonate with anyone trying to figure out the how to make AI
deliver real value.”—Ethan Mollick Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of
Co-Intelligence AI is nothing to be afraid of. After all AI is merely software. It’s great
at some things and (at least right now) terrible at others. But for workers who take time to
experiment with AI and develop expertise AI will make them more productive and more creative
saving them time giving them job security and boosting their income. In How to AI Wall
Street Journal columnist Christopher Mims introduces readers to people just like them who are
at the forefront of using AI in the world of work. Imagine a freelance lawyer who suddenly has
a whip-smart assistant to help her nail every deposition. Or a mom-and-pop contractor whose new
software tool is automating construction bids that used to eat up hundreds of hours. But even
as half a billion people around the world have leapt at the chance to use ChatGPT and other
tools millions of us have stayed on the sidelines. Are you one of them? Maybe you feel you
should be using AI tools but you don’t know where to begin. Or maybe you love AI but find
yourself struggling to get your co-workers or employees on board. In How to AI Mims teaches
readers twenty-four simple but eye-opening “laws” about AI and how we should approach it
including: • AI is an assistant not a replacement. • AI isn’t creative but it can help
you be. • Give AI your least favorites things to do. • AI can’t create finished products
but it’s great at prototypes. Animated by the wit and brilliant explanatory power that have
earned Mims’s Wall Street Journal columns a devoted following How to AI will prepare readers
to become a part of the AI revolution—and most important arm them with the tools to make it
work for them.
