AI and the Future of Knowledge: Think, Learn, Create with Artificial Intelligence, by Paolo Granata

Описание: In "Generative Knowledge: Think, Learn, Create with AI" (Wiley 2026), University of Toronto professor, award-winning educator, and internationally recognized media and communication scholar Paolo Granata presents an original framework that recasts AI as an epistemic partner—an interface for inquiry and invention that reshapes how we understand, explore, and produce knowledge.

Paolo Granata is a Professor at St. Michael's College in the University of Toronto, and founding and director of the Media Ethics Lab. His latest book—Generative Knowledge: Think, Learn, Create with AI (Wiley, 2026)—is an essential reading for educators, students, researchers, and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of AI’s impact on intellectual life and a practical roadmap for navigating its implications.
