Paperback / Hardback

Passion, college, and career. Can the three ever come together?

Talent, personal growth, merit. How do these shifting entities relate to each other?

How is Artificial Intelligence reshaping this relationship and creating new narratives of privilege and exclusion? What skills, values, and qualities will be essential as AI moves from Artificial Competent Intelligence (ACI) in particular domains to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which can function as a complete and independent individual? What patterns of social inequity and political discrimination will become pervasive if our education does not collaborate with AI in critical and sensitive ways?[SM1]

Saikat Majumdar’s Open Intelligence offers a set of promising pathways for those seeking to grasp the evolving core of artificial intelligence and education in this new world. Narrated through stories, drawing on cutting-edge research and offering a broad overview as well as a lively critique of the Indian higher education system, this book will resonate with anyone who has a stake in learning, training and growth today– from students, parents and teachers to policymakers and employers

A sequel to Majumdar’s 2018 bestselling book CollegeOpen Intelligence outlines the essence of an education that will help us preserve the human and the humane in the face of the artificial.
