This book study explores the book Superagency: What Could Possibly Go Right with Our AI Future by Reid Hoffman and Greg Beato. Participants will explore how artificial intelligence can expand human potential, increase agency, and transform learning, work, and society when used intentionally and responsibly. The study consists of two live, virtual meetings and asynchronous reading assignments.
Event Details
Intended Audience
Book studies are intended for any/all K-12 Teachers, Computer Science Teachers, Media/Library Specialists and Resource/Tech Teachers interested in diving deeper into computer science books and increasing their pedagogy.
Session Details
Book studies will meet virtually two times, with asynchronous work in between meetings such as assigned chapter readings, reflections, and planning for classroom applications.
This book study will meet on Thursday, November 12, 2026 and Thursday, January 7, 2027 from 8:00-9:00 PM ET.
Additional information about reading assignments and meeting zoom links will be shared to all registered attendees closer to the meeting dates.
A copy of the book is included for participants.
Superagency offers a roadmap for using AI inclusively and adaptively to improve our lives and create positive change. While acknowledging challenges like disinformation and potential job changes, the book focuses on AI’s immense potential to increase individual agency and create better outcomes for society as a whole.
Imagine AI tutors personalizing education for each child, researchers rapidly discovering cures for diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, and AI advisors empowering people to navigate complex systems and achieve their goals. Hoffman and co-author, tech and culture writer Greg Beato envision a world where these possibilities, and many more, become a reality.
Superagency challenges conventional fears, inviting us to view the future through a lens of opportunity, rather than fear. It’s a call to action – to embrace AI with excitement and actively shape a world where human ingenuity and the power of AI combine to create something extraordinary.
