人腦與AI腦的新協作革命：從分析師到創造者的工作模式根本改變

by 陳永隆, 曾憲鈺, 蔡承佳 ...

重新定義「AI 工作者」。不只是工程師的事，所有知識工作者都有份。AI的故事，從一群天才數學家的夢想開始：機器，能不能像人一樣思考？1950 年，英國數學家艾倫·圖靈提出「圖靈測試」，像一道閃電劈開了這個問題的序幕。 1956 年的達特茅斯會議，正式把這個夢想命名為「人工智慧」。這本書不教你 AI 工具，也不嚇你哪些工作快消失。它要回答的，是現在每個知識工作者心裡都在轉、卻沒人真正說清楚的問題：當AI已經比人更會分析、更會產出，人真正不可取代的是什麼？我們的答案很清楚：未來不是人對抗 AI，而是「善用雙腦協作的人」全面取代只靠自己單打獨鬥的人。我們把 AI 定位成「第二顆腦」，AI 負責分析、列舉、加速；人負責價值判斷、跨界創造、以及最後拍板。這本書想做的，不是讓你跑得更快，而是讓你想得更深、判得更準。在這個聰明助手已經無所不在的時代，找回真正屬於人的優勢。 ...
