Our Write Science program returns in September! Join renowned computer scientist Neil Lawrence for a conversation with MIT Professor David Mindell on Lawrence's new book, The Atomic Human: What Makes Us Unique in the Age of AI.


The greatest fear of AI is not that it rules our digital lives but that it displaces human intelligence entirely. If artificial intelligence takes over decision-making what, then, is unique and irreplaceable about human intelligence? The Atomic Human is a journey of discovery to the core of what it is to be human, in search of the qualities that cannot be replaced by the machine.


Lawrence brings a timely, fresh perspective to this new, emerging era, recounting his personal journey to understand the riddle of intelligence. By understanding the essential element of what makes us human -- the "atomic human" -- Lawrence shows how AI can enable us to choose the future we want.


Copies of The Atomic Human will be available for purchase onsite from the MIT Coop.
