The 8 essential skills to think, create and lead in the age of AI
Technology is advancing faster than our ability to understand its impact. Artificial Intelligence can write, compose, create images and answer questions before we have even finished asking them. But in the midst of this revolution, one essential question arises: will we still be able to think, create and decide
for ourselves?
In The Challenge of Staying Human, César Bona invites readers to train the skills that make us human in an increasingly automated world: attention, curiosity, creativity, communication, metacognition, critical thinking, coexistence and leadership. A renowned educator and advocate of humanist
education, Bona combines practical experience, pedagogical insight and reflection to show how we can live with AI without losing our autonomy.
Through accessible examples, personal anecdotes and tools for everyday life, the book offers strategies to develop a more attentive and creative mind, organise time and thought, foster curiosity, communicate effectively and lead with empathy and judgement in times of change.
Far from condemning technology, Bona embraces it with enthusiasm, but with a clear warning: what we delegate to AI may eventually stop belonging to us. The true revolution of the future, he argues, will not be digital, but human.
What will still belong to us when machines can do almost everything?
