Framers: Human Advantage in an Age of Technology and Turmoil

Category: Librarian's Pick
Call Number: BF314 Cuk

This book is another timely response to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and the perceived threat of human redundancy (the other is the 2014 title Big Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work, and Think, also by Cukier and Mayer-Schönberger). Discover why “framing” is a uniquely human capability and how frames or mental models have the power to shape our lives — from the way we perceive the world, to the decisions that we make, and ultimately the outcomes that we achieve. More importantly, learn how framing could provide the answer to society's most difficult dilemmas and how we might get better at it. An illuminating read.
