Gerd Gigerenzer discusses his latest book "How to Stay Smart in a Smart World: Why Human Intelligence Still Beats Algorithms", a comprehensive guide on how to stay in charge in a world populated by algorithms that beat us in chess, find us romantic partners, and tell us to “turn right in 500 yards.”

Doomsday prophets of technology predict that robots will take over the world, leaving humans behind in the dust. Tech industry boosters think replacing people with software might make the world a better place—while tech industry critics warn darkly about surveillance capitalism. Despite their differing views of the future, they all agree: machines will soon do everything better than humans. In "How to Stay Smart in a Smart World", Gerd Gigerenzer shows why we shouldn’t trust smart technology unconditionally, but we shouldn’t fear it unthinkingly, either.
