Faisal Hoque’s Transcend is a thoughtful， refreshingly human-centered look at our relationship with artificial intelligence。 It doesn’t scream “tech hype” or drown in dystopian doom。 Instead， it calmly， methodically—and honestly， kind of beautifully—asks us to reflect on what makes us human in the first place。 Through two core frameworks， OPEN and CARE， Hoque offers practical tools for using AI responsibly， while never losing sight of ethics， purpose， and connection。 It's part guidebook， part ph Faisal Hoque’s Transcend is a thoughtful， refreshingly human-centered look at our relationship with artificial intelligence。 It doesn’t scream “tech hype” or drown in dystopian doom。 Instead， it calmly， methodically—and honestly， kind of beautifully—asks us to reflect on what makes us human in the first place。 Through two core frameworks， OPEN and CARE， Hoque offers practical tools for using AI responsibly， while never losing sight of ethics， purpose， and connection。 It's part guidebook， part philosophical journal， and part wake-up call。What really stood out to me is how Hoque doesn’t treat AI like a gadget or a trend。 Right from the introduction， where he likens AI to the philosopher’s stone—a tool that could elevate or destroy us—he grounds this tech in the context of ancient spiritual and philosophical ideas。 It’s bold， but it works。 He isn’t afraid to talk about topics attributed to a person's soul—truth， love， wonder—even while explaining neural networks and machine learning。The writing isn’t always breezy。 Some chapters do feel like they’re straddling a TED Talk and a philosophy lecture。 But I appreciated that Hoque never talks down to the reader。 He assumes we can handle nuance。 The section about AI and value judgments， especially the part referencing the Bhagavad Gita， was surprisingly moving。 It’s a powerful reminder that doing nothing is still a choiceAnother thing I appreciated was the frameworks。 OPEN （Observe， Probe， Engage， Navigate） and CARE （Consciousness， Awareness， Responsibility， Ethics） are not just acronyms。 They’re practical， adaptable， and surprisingly not corny。 In Chapter 10， when Hoque applies them to government and business settings， it really clicked how scalable these ideas are。 He’s not just preaching mindfulness to individuals—he’s arguing for systems-level transformation。 And he does it without sounding preachy or naive。 It’s idealism with boots on the ground。Transcend is a thoughtful， sometimes poetic， always grounded take on AI that’s more about people than code。 It’s not a book full of hacks or hot takes。 It’s more like a long conversation with someone who knows a lot， cares a lot， and wants to help the rest of us figure it out， too。 I’d recommend this book to anyone feeling overwhelmed by the AI wave， especially leaders， educators， or just regular folks trying to make sense of it all。 。。。more

While reading Transcend， I was reminded of a social media post I stumbled across a few months ago。 The summary is that a creative person was unhappy with AI’s current trajectory。 She doesn’t want AI to create stunning artwork or write beautifully while she does mundane house tasks。 She wants AI to do her dishes and laundry so that she can spend her time creating art and writing。 I think this strikes at the heart of what Hoque argued it meant to be human–the creativity， the passion， the desire to While reading Transcend， I was reminded of a social media post I stumbled across a few months ago。 The summary is that a creative person was unhappy with AI’s current trajectory。 She doesn’t want AI to create stunning artwork or write beautifully while she does mundane house tasks。 She wants AI to do her dishes and laundry so that she can spend her time creating art and writing。 I think this strikes at the heart of what Hoque argued it meant to be human–the creativity， the passion， the desire to make。 I found the first part of the book， where all of these philosophical concepts were examined through a lens of comparison to AI， very stimulating and thought-provoking。I found Hoque to be level-headed and fair in his examination of both the anti and pro sides of the AI argument。 He takes pains to warn of several dangers of AI， including reduced creativity in language and thinking， increased difficulty developing critical thinking skills， and reduced capacity for delayed gratification， all due to an over-exposure to the convenience provided by AI。 However， it is clear that Hoque believes that AI can still be a power for good in the future。 Ultimately， AI needs to be tempered by intention — good intention — since AI looks to humans for all of its data。 Through the research and development process with AI， people will need to keep asking themselves， “Why？” to ensure that we are only using AI to benefit everyone and for the right reasons。I found Hoque’s closing chapter particularly touching after reading a social media post from last month in which he names his son， who has been battling multiple myeloma， as the inspiration for this book。 In Transcend， Hoque opines that humanity may do anything it wants with AI if the intent is steeped in love。 After all， AI is but a mirror of humanity， so we must show it our best side if we are to truly reap the benefits。Reviewed By Georgia 。。。more
