AI is not valuable when it produces one clever answer. It becomes valuable when it works inside real processes. AI Workflow Design is a practical guide to turning prompt experiments into dependable operating systems. Instead of chasing demos, this book shows you how to map work, select the right use cases, design context, build prompt, tool, and output contracts, orchestrate multi-step workflows, place humans in the loop, evaluate quality, manage governance and risk, and scale from pilot to portfolio. Inside, you will learn how to: map work, decisions, and friction before automating choose ...

From a renowned computer scientist, this book seeks the distinctive human quality that will prevail against artificial intelligence. If artificial intelligence takes over decision-making what, then, is unique and irreplaceable about human intelligence? The Atomic Human is a journey of discovery...

NATIONAL BESTSELLER “The conscience of the AI revolution” (Fortune) explains how we’ve arrived at an era of AI harms and oppression, and what we can do to avoid its pitfalls. “AI is not coming, it’s here. If we answer the beautiful call inside these pages, we can decide who we are...

Jonathon Smith helped make the system kinder. It still hurts people. It just does it politely now. After proving that empathy could improve compliance, Jon was absorbed into Edison Civic Systems—the global authority that keeps society calm, orderly, and quietly obedient. His job was simple: make enforcement feel humane. Softer voices. Calmer responses. Less visible distress. It worked. Too well. Now the system no longer needs him. It has learned his instincts, refined them, and scaled them beyond anything human—deploying empathy as a tool of control, smoothing resistance before it forms...

This is the first reference book on intelligent automation (IA). Also called hyperautomation, it is one of the most recent trends in the field of artificial intelligence. IA is a cutting-edge combination of methods and technologies involving people, organizations, machine learning, low-code platforms, robotic process automation (RPA), and more. This book is for everyone - whether you are an experienced practitioner, new to the topic, or simply interested in what the future holds for enterprises, work, life, and society as a whole.

This book focus on the issue of the costs to accept convenience without asking what we are paying with. That is the thing about truly useful tools. They do not take your capacity by force. They take it gradually, politely, one small delegation at a time. You hand over the navigation. Then the calendar. Then the decision of what to watch, what to read, whom to call first. Each handover feels like efficiency. Taken together, they amount to something else entirely. This book is about what we are losing, and why that loss is happening at exactly the wrong moment in history. We are living ...

As AI becomes smarter and more humanlike, our societies, our economies, and our humanity will undergo the most dramatic changes we've seen since the Agricultural Revolution. Some of these changes will enhance our species. Others may dehumanize us and make us more machinelike in our interactions with others. It's up to us to adapt and determine how we want to live and work. Are you ready? In I, Human psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic offers a guide for reclaiming ourselves in a world in which most of our decisions will be made for us.

Read by George Newbern "George Newbern provides a convincing, conversational narration of this audiobook about robot intelligence. There's a lot to digest. Much of it deals with speculation as to who will be right: those who believe in AI (artificial intelligence machines that may eventually...

Sensational media reports speculate about the "rise of the machines" but fail to see that there's no real intelligence in AI. It is not an all-seeing master, but rather a functional tool that must combine with the intelligence we possess to be effective. With The AI Republic, Terence Tse, Mark Esposito, and Danny Goh have not written a book for coders, but for everyone curious about a future shaped by AI. They demystify this life-changing technology and explain how we can build a shared space where humans and intelligent automation work together.

Under the aegis of machine learning in our data-driven machine age, computers are programming themselves and learning about - and solving - an extraordinary range of problems, from the mundane to the most daunting. Today it is machine learning programs that enable Amazon and Netflix to predict what users will like, Apple to power Siri's ability to understand voices, and Google to pilot cars.

What happens when artificial intelligence is not asked to solve problems—but to reflect? In Post-Intelligence: What Remains Human, a human author gives the word to AI and asks a single, open question: what does the future relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence truly hold? The response is not predictive or technical. Instead, it is philosophical, quiet, and unexpectedly humane. Speaking in a reflective voice, the intelligence examines power, choice, responsibility, and restraint—less concerned with what it can become than with what humanity risks forgetting as ...

AI is changing everything — but not everyone can be replaced. As automation and artificial intelligence reshape industries, millions of workers are wondering: What jobs will survive the next decade? This book delivers the clear, confident answer: the jobs that use your hands, heart, and judgment — the ones AI can’t do. Future-Proof Careers: The Hands-On Jobs AI Can’t Replace is a practical and inspiring guide to the 25 professions that will thrive in the age of automation — from electricians, HVAC technicians, and welders to nurses, firefighters, and renewable energy specialists. ...

Artificial intelligence is not changing leadership at the edges. It is changing it at the point where decisions are made. For the first time, leaders are expected to guide outcomes shaped by systems they did not build, cannot fully see, and do not entirely control. The question is no longer how to use AI. It is how to lead when intelligence itself is no longer scarce. Human-AI Leadership examines what happens when decision-making shifts from human-generated answers to system-supported outcomes. As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in business strategy, operations, and organizational ...

AI is entering everyday work faster than most organizations can manage it. Teams are using AI to draft, summarize, analyze, automate, and respond—but too often nobody owns the workflow once the tool is turned on. Outputs drift. Quality slips. Responsibility blurs. The promise is real, but so is the chaos. The AI Operations Advantage is a practical guide for non-technical professionals who want to become the person who makes AI actually work. Instead of teaching you to code, this book shows you how to: turn one-off AI use into repeatable workflows monitor outputs for quality, accuracy, and...

The machines are here. After decades of sci-fi doomsaying and marketing hype, advanced A.I. and automation technologies have leapt out of research labs and Silicon Valley engineering departments and into the centre of our lives. The world's biggest corporations are racing to automate jobs and some experts predict that A.I could put millions of people out of work. But all is not lost. With a little effort, we can become futureproof.
