# Robot-Proof (Wiley) > Source: > Published: 2026-08-09 12:01:19+00:00 | In this book Vivienne Ming helps readers grasp the ugly and the amazing ways that individuals, companies, and societies will respond to the changes that are already taking hold due to the advent of AI. Rather than a textbook on machine learning or a utopian/dystopian screed, Robot-Proof is a book about people, exploring what it means to be human in an increasingly automated world. This book presents, then answers, pressing questions that readers may or may not have thought to themselves, such as: - What predicts long-term life outcomes across millions of little kids? - What drives career success in both hyper-networked salespeople and hyper-nerdy programmers? - Why is the Informational-Exploration Paradox the most terrifying phenomenon you’ve never heard of? - What predicts the smartest team and how will AI change it? - Why are ill-posed problems the future work, education, and a robot-proof humanity?
