I Am Not a Robot — Joanna Stern

Hi. I'm Joanna Stern.

I'm a human. I wrote a book about AI to prove it.

The robot arm is AI-generated. The human is real. Probably.

What People Are Saying

“Stern’s balanced, clear-eyed assessments and crisp, funny prose make this stand out among the growing crowd of books on AI.”

Who are you anyway?

Glad you asked. I'm an Emmy Award-winning technology journalist who recently left The Wall Street Journal to start my own tech media company, New Things. Stay tuned for video channels, a newsletter, and whatever other new things I decide to cook up. You can also catch me on NBC News, where I'm chief technology analyst and a contributing correspondent.

Over 12 years at The Wall Street Journal, my personal technology columns and videos made me one of the most recognizable—and, I hope, entertaining—voices in consumer tech. I'm a two-time Gerald Loeb Award winner, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and the creator of the 2021 documentary E-Ternal, which won an Emmy for Outstanding Science, Technology or Environmental Coverage.

I decided it would be a good idea to spend a year letting AI into nearly every corner of my life—and write a book about it. That became I AM NOT A ROBOT. Did you hear you can pre-order it now?

Follow me on one of the many social networks I'm on—or all of them, if you're feeling brave. Want to send a message or ask about a speaking engagement? Head to the contact page and let's make it happen.
