Embark on a journey into the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Emotional Intelligence (EI) with our groundbreaking book, "EI & AI Through The Eyes Of The Recycled Teenager." As the title suggests, this isn't just another exploration of technology and its implications; it's a unique perspective offered by those who have "grown up, but not grown old."
We propose that the wisdom of recycled teenagers-individuals who retain the knowledge, experience, and childlike curiosity of their teenage years-can guide us through this brave new technological era.
Remember the days when computers filled entire rooms, and slide rules were the tools of the trade for students? While we can't turn back time, we can learn from the back-to-basics wisdom that characterized that era; we explore the idea that EI and common sense, coupled with the boundless curiosity of youth, can help us navigate the complexities of AI.
But what does it mean to be a "recycled teenager"? It signifies individuals who have retained the EI of their youth, who have "grown up, but not grown old," as Casey Stengel aptly put it. These individuals not only preserve the best of their teenage selves but also tap into their teenage dreams through EI. The childlike curiosity inherent in EI aligns with the limitless potential of AI.
Our book believes in the power of curiosity, intuition, and tapping into higher wisdom. It encourages embracing AI with thoughtfulness, EI, and common sense. As Ray Bradbury noted, "Robots touch something deeply human within all of us. For me, robots are about people."
Intriguingly, even ChatGPT, a machine intelligence, found the title captivating. While it doesn't have personal preferences, its response suggests that the book promises a unique perspective on the intersection of EI and AI from someone with a wealth of life experience.
Moving beyond the title, our book delves into various perspectives in different chapters. From Paul D. Lowe's personal story of growing up without technology in 1960s & 1970s Britain to Daniel Gasser's exploration of how EI helps us embrace AI, each chapter offers a distinct viewpoint.
