About

Jerry Kaplan is a pioneering figure in artificial intelligence research and a prominent Silicon Valley insider whose work sits at the intersection of technology, society, and the future of human labor. Best known for his sweeping analyses of AI's transformative potential, Kaplan has devoted much of his career to examining how intelligent systems will reshape virtually every dimension of human life — from the way we work and learn to how we form relationships and care for one another. His foundational text *Artificial Intelligence* (2016) has become one of the most cited works in the field, accumulating over 300 citations and serving as an essential reference for students and researchers grappling with AI's societal implications. His follow-up work *Humans Need Not Apply*, recognized by *The Economist* as one of the top ten science and technology books of 2015, further cemented his reputation as a lucid and provocative thinker on economic disruption and labor market transformation in an age of automation. Kaplan's writing is distinguished by its accessibility and insider credibility, making complex technological trajectories comprehensible to broad audiences and earning him a lasting place in contemporary AI discourse.
