매킨지컨설팅의 매킨지글로벌퍼블리싱이 선정한 올해의 권장 도서 중 AI 부문 목록에 오른 11권의 책을 공유한다. 내가 읽은 책은 이 가운데 한 권 밖에 없지만, 다른 책도 속속 읽어봐야 겠다. 하지만, 현재는 『Geopolitics of AI』(부제: Power, Conflict, and the Future of Global Order)를 배송 대기중이다.
《AI for Good: How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter 》
- Josh Tyrangiel, Simon & Schuster
- Recommended by: Nicholas Thompson, CEO, The Atlantic; author, The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports
“Tyrangiel is one of the smartest writers in the world on AI, and in this book, he looks at how the technology—not the companies that make it—is going to change the world.”
《Birds Up Close: An Engineer Explores Their Hidden Wonders》
- Lorna Gibson, MIT Press
- Recommended by: Amy Brand, director and publisher, MIT Press
"I can’t wait to dive into this book by Lorna Gibson, an engineer and lifelong birder who reveals how feathers repel water and shape sound, how hollow bones stay strong, how hummingbirds hover, and how puffins fly underwater. It contains more than 150 illustrations of avian wonder."
《A Brief History of Intelligence: Evolution, AI, and the Five Breakthroughs That Made Our Brains》
- Max Bennett, Mariner Books/HarperCollins Publishers
- Recommended by: Daron Acemoglu, Institute professor of economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Nobel laureate, Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences
"This book provides a highly readable synthesis of a range of biological hypotheses about why animal intelligence has emerged and uses that to shed light on how to think about AI. We need to understand how human intelligence differs from artificial intelligence to best work out how to combine AI with human capabilities."
《The Coming Wave: AI, Power, and Our Future》
- Mustafa Suleyman with Michael Bhaskar, Crown/ Penguin Random House
- Recommended by: Austin Gallagher, founder and CEO, Beneath The Waves
"I’m planning to read this book because it explores one of the defining challenges of our time: how society navigates rapid advances in artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, especially as questions around ethics and human values become more important than ever."
《Human Magic: Leading with Wisdom in an Age of Algorithms》
- Johan Roos, Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group
- Recommended by: Stephen Hodges, CEO, Efekta Education
"I’ve always valued Roos’s wisdom. In education, curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking are everything. I’m looking forward to reading how he thinks AI can amplify these capabilities rather than erode them."
《Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity & Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI》
- Dana Suskind, Dutton/Penguin Random House
- Recommended by: Adam Grant, Saul P. Steinberg Professor of Management, and professor of psychology, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania; podcast host, The Curiosity Shop and Re:Thinking
"I loved this book. It’s a beautiful book about how to preserve our capacities for connection, curiosity, and critical thinking in the age of AI."
《I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything》
- Joanna Stern, Harper/HarperCollins Publishers
- Recommended by: Rebecca Blumenstein, president of editorial, NBC News; coauthor, The Last Free Women: A Daring Escape from Afghanistan and Coming of Age in America
"Joanna, with whom I’ve worked closely for over ten years, outsourced as much of her life as possible to AI. Her story—a mixture of expertise, humanity, and humor—is truly illuminating."
《The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind, and the Quest for Superintelligence》
- Sebastian Mallaby, Penguin Press/Penguin Random House
- Recommended by: Yuval Atsmon, senior partner and CFO, McKinsey
"This book offers a vivid account of the race to build advanced AI, centered on DeepMind and its founder, Demis Hassabis. Drawing on extensive access and interviews, Sebastian Mallaby captures both the excitement and the tensions of the AI era—between scientific idealism, commercial competition, safety concerns, and geopolitical ambition. Thoughtful and nonalarmist, the book helps readers make sense of one of the defining technological stories of our time."
- Michael Birshan, senior partner and managing partner for United Kingdom, Ireland, and Israel, McKinsey
"Mallaby’s book on venture capital, The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future, was superb. His book on hedge funds, More Money than God: Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite, was also terrific. So I immediately bought his latest—and the fact that it’s about a British entrepreneur and a London-based frontier AI lab only added to the appeal."
- Stephen Hodges, CEO, Efekta Education
"A rare biography that takes both science and ethics seriously. It sharpened how I think about building our business. Hassabis keeps a relentless focus on solving the real problems—the ones that matter most to humanity."
- Carissa Véliz, Doubleday/Penguin Random House
- Recommended by: Nicholas Thompson, CEO, The Atlantic; author, The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports
"I just read Carissa Véliz’s marvelous book, which, along with a series of lovely historical diversions, explains the perils that can occur when predictions made by AI become something closer to real-world prophecies."
- Eric Lamarre, Kate Smaje, and Robert Levin with Alex Singla and Alexander Sukharevsky, John Wiley & Sons
- Recommended by: Ruth Heuss, senior partner, McKinsey
"Today, 80 percent of organizations are using AI, but only 20 percent are making impactful use of it. In the second edition of Rewired, my colleagues Eric Lamarre, Kate Smaje, Robert Levin, Alex Singla, and Alexander Sukharevsky delve into more than 30 new case studies of leading organizations across sectors and regions that demonstrate the transformative power of technology and AI. A must read: As technology changes quickly, strategies must adapt in fast cycles, and a focus on real end-to-end value creation is crucial."
- Parmy Olson, St. Martin’s Press/Macmillan Publishers
- Recommended by: Amy Webb, CEO, FTSG
"Olson went behind the closed doors of OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic. The race to artificial general intelligence has protagonists who are brilliant, conflicted, and making irreversible decisions on behalf of all of us."
