📚 In honor of World Book Day, I’ll talk about my current read, “AI Snake Oil” by Arvind Narayanan & Sayash Kapoor from Princton University Press.

📱 Between the doomers and the accelerationists, there lies the middle ground of AI where most of us fall. Despite the promise of taking over the world, your job, and the planet, and the dangerous practice of bashing any new technologies—is where the truth lies.

⚖️ This unbiased book discusses the dangers of bias, the hype of predictive AI while also dissecting what’s marketing and what’s real, while quite bullish on the future of GenAI.

✅ It’s a great primer to ground views. A few years old now, it still is relevant in this ‘hockey-stick’ growth era that we find ourselves in with developments for 2026.
