Today’s six essays, the last in the current AI series, all premised on the understanding that AI is clearly here to stay, offer different kinds of answers to the question of how we will live with it.

In the first, a successful publisher opines on steps that he thinks need to be urgently undertaken.

In the second, a leading academic advocate argues that the way government regulates AI needs to change.

In the third, a journalist argues that the power of AI needs to become the subject of international treaties, similar to the way nuclear weapons were treated during the Cold War.

In the fourth, that same academic advocate counsels that we will all learn to love AI writing, which, currently, when it is employed by several of his younger relatives, drives this old guy crazy.

In the fifth, we hear a sagacious and moving appraisal by David Brooks of those he thinks will thrive in the new world that is emerging.

Finally, a late-breaking word from the bots themselves.
