What happens when machines can find the perfect answer in seconds—but the real challenge is deciding whether that answer is worth trusting?
Raising Chess Knight: Two Brothers, One Question — How to Think in the Age of AI by Mohana Mukherjee Das, Dron Acharya Das and Druheen Acharya Das explores a question increasingly important for young minds: In a world where AI can think for us, how do we learn to think for ourselves?
At the heart of the book are brothers Dron and Druheen, growing up in the same home, surrounded by the same technology, yet developing very different approaches to thinking. Dron questions answers, tests logic and keeps searching until the reasoning makes sense. Druheen trusts his instincts, acts before certainty arrives and learns by embracing the unknown. Their differences on the chessboard become a powerful reflection of how they approach pressure, failure, competition and judgment beyond the game.
Drawing from education, chess, sport and real-life experience, the book goes beyond artificial intelligence to explore curiosity, independent thinking, decision-making and the courage to question what appears obvious.
