When Elon Musk declares self-driving cars "basically a solved problem" or Mark Zuckerberg claims algorithms know you better than your spouse, it's easy to believe we're witnessing the dawn of an AI revolution that will render human judgment obsolete. But are we? In "How to Stay Smart in a Smart World," Gerd Gigerenzer cuts through the technological hyperbole with refreshing clarity. What makes this work particularly valuable isn't a dystopian warning about technology, but a balanced view of where machines excel and where human judgment remains indispensable. The book has become something of a stealth phenomenon among Silicon Valley executives who publicly tout AI's limitless potential while privately implementing its warnings. Why? Because it reveals the fundamental limitations of artificial intelligence that no amount of computing power can overcome.
