You are being automated. Artificial intelligence is moving from research labs into our daily lives, influencing everything from the media we consume to our beliefs and relationships. While the debate over job loss due to automation continues, a more pressing question arises: How can we find happiness and success in a world increasingly shaped by machines? In "Futureproof: 9 Rules for Humans in the Age of Automation," New York Times technology columnist Kevin Roose presents a hopeful vision for thriving alongside AI. He reveals insights from individuals and organizations that have navigated past technological shifts, outlining essential skills to stay ahead of intelligent machines. Key lessons include being surprising, social, and scarce; resisting machine drift; leaving handprints; demoting devices; and treating AI like a chimp army. Roose challenges the notion that success in the AI era requires us to become more machine-like—hyper-efficient and data-driven. Instead, he advocates for embracing our humanity and engaging in creative, inspiring, and meaningful activities that even the most advanced robots cannot replicate.
