NOT AI Artificial Intelligence Can't & Shouldn't - Artificial Intelligence Can't & Shouldn't  (Paperback, Gautam Sirigiri)

What if the future we're building doesn't understand who we truly are? In an age of artificial intelligence - where machines compose music, write code, give medical advice, and mimic human interaction - NOT AI - Can't & Shouldn't dares to ask what we've lost in the pursuit of efficiency. Written by Gautam Sirigiri, a seasoned technologist and system architect, this book is not a critique of AI, but a reflection on what it cannot do¿ and what it shouldn't be allowed to do. With poetic clarity and professional insight, the author explores the boundaries between machine logic and human experience - consciousness, language, imagination, emotion, free will, creativity, and ethics. Each chapter offers a compelling journey through the paradoxes of automation, the limits of machine thinking, and the essence of being human. From baby-proofing a home to teaching a child how to judge right from wrong, the analogies are grounded, relatable, and thought-provoking. This is not a technical manual or a dystopian warning. It's a mirror. A space to pause, think, and ask: If AI can do almost everything¿ what must remain ours? Who should read this book? Technologists, developers, and AI practitioners Educators, researchers, and futurists Parents, policy-makers, and students Philosophers, psychologists, and thinkers Anyone who wants to reflect on the human side of the AI revolution Prepare to challenge assumptions. Rediscover what matters. And question whether intelligence without understanding is really intelligence at all.
