Capability Fitness in the Age of Thinking Machines
Michael D. Lapico
Whether AI builds capability or replaces it is a design choice, and the book shows how to make it. Introduces Capability Fitness through five domains and twenty-six observable skills, argues for AI as spotter, not lifter (helping you lift more than you could alone without lifting the bar for you), and sets out rules of engagement for working with AI.
