I stopped reading after three chapters and nearly one hundred mentions of the word IRREPLACEABLE (all caps). The message might be good, but I couldn't take it anymore.

I created a mind map summarizing the key concepts from the book. You can download it here for free.
Irreplaceable by Pascal Bornet offers a refreshing perspective on how to stay relevant in an AI-driven world. I found it incredibly empowering, especially the focus on embracing our Humics (Uniquely Human Abilities): creativity, critical thinking, and social authenticity. It’s a reminder that, in a world of machines, our adaptability and human traits are what truly set us apart. Highly suggested!

Loved reading this excellent book!
I found the book very enlightening. Loved reading this treasure from my mentor and friend, Pascal. This book will definitely challenge readers and leaders to continuously adapt and reinvent themselves to remain irreplaceable in an ever-changing landscape. You can use this book as a framework to create a roadmap for staying ahead of the curve and making a lasting impact in a world shaped by technology. Each of these chapters contributes to a comprehensive exploration of the theme, offering us (readers) a well-rounded understanding of becoming irreplaceable in the context of AI and the future of work.
I wholeheartedly agree with Pascal that we are not just witnessing technological advancement; we're stepping into an era where AI, robotics, and computer vision merge, dramatically changing the landscape of human labor. All the best, Pascal for this wonderful book!
Cheers, Pooja Sund

A stand out book on standing out
With AI seemingly everywhere, and impacting everything we do, it’s imperative to have a plan. This book not only explores the age of AI, it shares a methodology and approach to survive and thrive in life and work. It’s a great resource for anyone hoping to become irreplaceable.

Pretty good book about how to not be replaced by AI! I think there are some great tips and advice for people to work in collaboration with AI and make sure that we help keep the human attributes in the picture.

It is difficult to conclude on this super hot subject of GenAI and its impact on the symboleracy, literacy, numeracy, and techneracy of Homo Sapiens as a species, a historical species which went and is still going through a phylogeny that brings them all the time to higher points and higher powers. Unluckily it has harmed the planet, and it has at least accelerated its cyclical evolution. Every invention, discovery, or development has expanded human capabilities by extending one physical or mental human capability and thus replacing that human capability with a machine or a mechanical procedure.
Will GenAI replace our human thinking? That question is legitimate, and the answer is “Yes if we do not cultivate the capabilities that the machine cannot reproduce, mimic, or vampirize.” That machine can do what it wants – if it wants anything that is based on the program in its Central Processing Unit – but it will not experience love in any comparable way as a human does. [Steven Spielberg, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, 2001] Love, of course, and hatred as well. It may mimic racism and convey racist ideas it has gathered in the clouds of our digital age, but it will not be able to experience the human feelings a racist person experiences, and their victims suffer through, including the ultimate knowledge that death might or even will be the (ex-)termination of their lives. A machine can commit genocide, and yet it is not genocidal because it does not know what it is doing. It only obeys what its CPU tells it to do.
However, and mind you Pascal Bornet is clear about it, we humans can excel beyond this GenAI. I am afraid an elite will be able to survive GenAI, but what dimension of the human mind will GenAI bring to mutation and phylogenic development? How will we develop a new potential expansion of our physical and mental being, and become something new, better, more developed? We go back to Buddhism and its “anicca” principle that everything constantly changes from one moment to the next. Many people, including Buddhists, think that this constant change is the disappearance of what exists now, and they do not see it is also the emergence of something better, more powerful, and more human. Right now, we do not see what’s coming. I do not think we need a Prophet for that, just a very proficient mind. Probably a team of such minds or even teams of such minds.
From simple bipedal walking, Homo Sapiens developed into a fast long-distance bipedal runner. From there then, he developed wheels, carts, bicycles, trains, planes and so many other means of transportation that are the extensions of our fast, bipedal, long-distance running. GenAI imitates and mimics our mental functions, and even our symbolic creativity, how can we use this to go one step, at least one step, further in our long phylogeny? Pascal Bornet does not suggest anything apart from focusing on three Humics we already have. What is beyond these three Humics that GenAI cannot even dream of challenging, at least within its present framework? Think of our ancestors who, for the first time in their migrations, came to a big river. What did they do to cross it? They had the choice between swimming (provided they had developed swimming), building some kind of “boat” that would carry them across with some help from oars that had to be invented, or even, inventing a bridge that could go from one bank to the other. When did Homo Sapiens build their first bridge? A long time after learning how to swim or building a boat with oars. Phylogenic Techneracy Oblige! “Honi soit qui mal y pense”
That's where GenAI is forcing us to go beyond our own limits. Once again. The adventure is far from being finished, except if some humans in our community decide to destroy the planet in order not to share it with anyone else in our community, or maybe after all someone from outside this planet, from out of space. E.T. versus Generative A.I. I'm not telling you: What a Generation!

Il est difficile de tirer des conclusions sur ce sujet brûlant de l’intelligence artificielle et de son impact sur le pouvoir symbolique humain, l’alphabétisme/lettrisme, la numéracie mathématique et la virtuosité technologique d’Homo Sapiens en tant qu’espèce, une espèce historique qui a tracé et trace encore une phylogénie qui l’amène sans cesse à des points de rupture vers des pouvoirs supérieurs. Malheureusement, cette/notre espèce a fait du mal à la planète, et elle a au moins accéléré son évolution cyclique. Chaque invention, découverte ou développement a élargi les capacités humaines en démultipliant une capacité humaine physique ou mentale et en remplaçant ainsi cette capacité humaine par une machine ou une procédure mécanique.
L’intelligence artificielle va-t-elle remplacer notre pensée humaine ? Cette question est légitime, et la réponse est « Oui, si nous ne cultivons pas les capacités que la machine ne peut pas reproduire, imiter ou vampiriser. » Cette machine peut faire ce qu’elle veut – si elle veut quelque chose qui est basé sur le programme de son unité centrale de traitement – mais elle ne ressentira pas l’amour de la même manière qu’un humain. [Steven Spielberg, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, 2001] L’amour, bien sûr, et la haine aussi. Elle peut imiter le racisme et véhiculer des idées racistes qu’elle a recueillies dans les nuages virtuels de notre ère numérique, mais elle ne sera pas capable de ressentir les sentiments humains qu’éprouve une personne raciste et que ses victimes subissent, y compris la connaissance ultime que la mort pourrait être ou sera même l’extermination de leur vie. Une machine peut commettre un génocide, et pourtant elle n’est pas génocidaire parce qu’elle ne sait pas ce qu’elle fait. Elle obéit seulement à ce que son processeur lui dit de faire. L’homme serait-il une machine ?
Cependant, et remarquez que Pascal Bornet est clair à ce sujet, nous, les humains, pouvons exceller au-delà de cette GenAI. Mais je crains que seule une élite soit capable de lui survivre, mais quelle dimension de l’esprit humain la GenAI apportera-t-elle à la mutation et au développement phylogénique qui produira cette élite ? Comment allons-nous développer une nouvelle expansion potentielle de notre être physique et mental, et devenir quelque chose de nouveau, de meilleur, de plus développé ? Nous revenons au bouddhisme et à son principe « anicca » selon lequel tout change constamment d’un moment à l’autre. Beaucoup de gens, y compris les bouddhistes, pensent que ce changement constant est la disparition de ce qui existe maintenant, et ils ne voient pas que c'est aussi l'émergence de quelque chose de meilleur, de plus puissant et de plus humain. Pour l'instant, nous ne voyons pas ce qui vient. Je ne pense pas que nous ayons besoin d'un prophète pour cela, juste d'un esprit très compétent. Probablement d'une équipe de tels esprits ou même d'équipes de tels esprits.
De la simple marche bipède, Homo Sapiens est devenu un coureur bipède rapide sur longue distance. De là, il a développé des roues, des charrettes, des vélos, des trains, des avions et tant d'autres moyens de transport qui sont les extensions de notre course rapide, bipède et longue distance. GenAI imite et mime nos fonctions mentales, et même notre créativité symbolique, comment pouvons-nous utiliser cela pour aller un pas, au moins un pas, plus loin dans notre longue phylogénie ? Pascal Bornet ne suggère rien d'autre que de se concentrer sur trois Humiques que nous avons déjà. Qu'y a-t-il au-delà de ces trois Humiques que GenAI ne peut même pas rêver de remettre en question, du moins dans son cadre actuel ? Pensez à nos ancêtres qui, pour la première fois de leur migration hors d’Afrique Noire, se sont retrouvés face à un grand fleuve, ou les bras de mer entre Djibouti et Aden et le détroit d’Ormuz. Comment ont-ils fait pour les traverser ? Ils avaient le choix entre nager (à condition d’avoir développé la nage), construire une sorte de « bateau » qui les porterait à l’aide de quelques rames qu’il fallait inventer, ou encore inventer un pont qui permettrait de passer d’une rive à l’autre (ils n’ont pas encore atteint ce stade là de leur phylogénie.. Quand Homo Sapiens a-t-il construit son premier pont ? Bien longtemps après avoir appris à nager ou à construire un bateau à rames ou à voile. Technoratie phylogénétique oblige ! « Honi soit qui mal y pense. »
C’est là que GenAI nous force à dépasser nos propres limites. Une fois de plus. L’aventure est loin d’être terminée, sauf si certains humains de notre communauté décident de détruire la planète pour ne la partager avec personne d’autre de notre communauté, ou peut-être après tout quelqu’un de l’extérieur de cette planète, de l’espace. E.T. contre A. I. Générative. Je ne vous dis pas : Quelle Génération !

Pascal Bornet’s book, "Irreplaceable," is a transformative resource for anyone navigating the complexities of AI and its impact on our world. As someone deeply involved in digital health and the One Health approach at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, I found Bornet’s insights particularly relevant and inspiring.
The book offers a well-structured framework that is both practical and visionary, challenging readers to embrace AI while maintaining a strong focus on human-centric skills and values. Bornet's emphasis on collaboration between AI and humans resonates deeply with my work on digital health and preparedness for emerging (one) health crises.
Chapters 9, 10, 14, and 15 stood out to me, providing valuable insights and strategies that align with my scientific and entrepreneurial pursuits. The book's comprehensive approach to integrating AI tools and semantic dashboards is a great source of inspiration for those of us working in complex science-policy ecosystems. This is exactly why we EMBRACE creating science for policy digital dashboards & visuals for eg. decoding the global depression crises combining AI with humics skills.
Bornet’s book is as such also a call to action for addressing global challenges like the mental health crisis, encouraging us to leverage AI responsible and innovatively. Since the depression topic is a fil rouge in Bornet's book it even more inspired me reading his views and experiences and linking it to our science for policy report "Decoding Depression" (almost issued).
The engaging narrative and actionable insights make this a must-read for anyone looking to make a significant impact in the AI era.
I highly recommend "Irreplaceable" to experts and newcomers alike. It’s a great read for those seeking to harness AI’s potential while enhancing our uniquely human qualities. Bornet for sure used this blend for writing his book :)
Thank you, Pascal, for issuing such an insightful and impactful guide.

I have selected this book as Stevo's Business Book of the Week for the week of 12/22, as it stands heads above other recently published books on this topic.
October 30, 2024
While so much buzz about AI, driving value from it still a challenge and unclear on how we humans will need to change the book is a valuable resource when trying to answer some of the questions about how we can co-create the future. What are the non-AI skills that we need to develop? Is Critical thinking required? It is quite interesting to find out that AI is aware and can provide feedback on 188+ human biases while we have struggled for 10ths of years in organization to understand them when taking decisions. Counterintuitive, social abilities will be more in demand with AI increasing its footprint in our work life. Jobs will evolve, new ones will be created but we will be pushed to learn and change.
The 100 USD question answered in the book is how we can learn more effective? Space learning , storytelling and sleep are just few of the ways we can improve.
Last but not least I have enjoyed the "new" mindset required to co-exist if we want to work smarter and not harder. The 5 principles from the book may become a great orientation toolkit for us in the future(e.g balancing efficiency over effort, looking at value instead of volume,.....) I hope you will enjoy it as well!

An easy read. It is organized in a way that you can skim and jump your way through it looking for those nuggets of insights that resonate with you and your situation.
For example, I took a bunch from the first chapters that sets the argument and introduces ideas, concepts and terminology. As a teacher and parent, I spent more time on those chapters later on the book.
I jumped around the rest of the book focusing on the questions that resonated with me.
Overall it will be a good book to have on the shelf to dip into from time to time.

I like the author’s LinkedIn posts – always food for thought there. But this book? It’s slim pickings. The one thing I want to remember is the general rule that if an activity doesn’t bring you joy nor personal growth, let AI handle it!

I'm glad I read this book. AI is everywhere and growing daily. I think learning about it is important. That said, this was a good book to read, however, the last half and all the tables dragged. I really like the first half. It would have been 4 stars if the last 100 pages didn't exist.
