In the Age of AI, the constraint has shifted from producing outputs to delivering outcomes. As AI automates knowledge work at unprecedented scale, most organizations remain trapped measuring the wrong things—lines of code, features delivered, and other outputs that AI can now produce almost for free. The real constraint has shifted to organizational structure and the ability to turn strategy into measurable business outcomes.

Jeff Hawkins, the man who created the PalmPilot, Treo smart phone, and other handheld devices, has reshaped our relationship to computers. Now he stands ready to revolutionize both neuroscience and computing in one stroke, with a new understanding of intelligence itself.

AI tools are everywhere. Clear guidance on what to build with them is not. Most people don’t fail with AI because they lack access, skill, or motivation. They fail because they never decide what deserves their focus. They keep learning and tweaking—while real progress stays just out of reach. If you’ve explored platforms, followed tutorials, and still asked yourself how you could monetize AI—it isn’t confusion. It’s a missing decision framework.

Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

The future belongs to those who stop doing what machines can do—and start owning what they can’t. AI didn’t eliminate work. It redefined where human value actually lives. As automation accelerates, speed, volume, and technical execution are becoming cheap. What’s becoming rare is judgment—the ability to decide what matters, what doesn’t, and where attention should be spent. The people gaining the most leverage from AI aren’t trying to keep up with machines. They’re stepping out of execution and into direction. They’re delegating the routine and reclaiming the decisions that shape outcomes.

Hallucinated citations that survived review. Confidentiality breaches that didn't surface until the bar complaint. Malpractice exposure building invisibly, one unexamined AI output at a time. These aren't hypothetical. They're already happening to lawyers who adopted AI without a framework. And the lawyers who made those mistakes weren't careless—they were experienced, diligent, and trying to keep up.

A seismic shift is underway—one that will redefine work, value, and even what it means to be human. Artificial Intelligence is not just disrupting industries—it’s beginning to outperform humans in areas once considered exclusively ours: complex reasoning, creativity, even emotional...

In Artificial Organizations, Barry O'Reilly shows how to redesign how you sense, frame, decide, and act with human and machine intelligence. You begin by identifying the traits that make you most effective, then the tasks where you create disproportionate value. Only then do you apply AI tools—so they sharpen judgment, not noise.

In The AI Advantage, Thomas Davenport offers a guide to using artificial intelligence in business. He describes what technologies are available and how companies can use them for business benefits and competitive advantage. He cuts through the hype of the AI craze - remember when it seemed plausible that IBM's Watson could cure cancer? - to explain how businesses can put artificial intelligence to work now, in the real world.

AI Agents for Business Leaders introduces the Agentic Maturity Model—a five-level framework that shows exactly where your business sits today, what the next level looks like, and what changes when you get there. Most businesses are stuck at Level 1 or 2. The ones pulling ahead have reached Level 3 and beyond—where AI doesn't assist work, it owns it.

In AI and the Octopus Organization: Building the Superintelligent Firm, leading futurist Jonathan Brill and innovation expert Stephen Wunker unveil a groundbreaking vision for how organizations must evolve to survive and thrive in the age of artificial intelligence. Drawing inspiration from the octopus, an ancient creature noted for both rapid adaptation and distributed intelligence, the authors show that only businesses that rewire their structure, leadership, and decision-making can unlock AI's full potential.

You open your CRM and find three versions of the same client. Your file system has a folder called "Final FINAL v3." Your spreadsheet has columns that no one on your team can explain — including the person who made them. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a voice is saying: I should probably be using AI by now. Here is what that voice isn't telling you: so should everyone else. And almost no one's business is ready for it. Not because the technology is too advanced.

You know AI matters, but you're just not sure what to do with it. Every day brings a new tool, a new headline, or worse, another feeling that you’re falling behind.

This book tells you what to do with it—how to get started right now and set up your organization to drive value with AI within 90 days.
