Have you been named as Chief AI Officer? Are you a C-Suite leader whose organization is trying to figure out how to think about AI and how to derive business value from AI? Are you immersed in the AI ecosystem of your organization but not sure how all of the pieces fit together?

If you want to raise your “AI iQ” Seth Dobrin’s book provides a practical approach to help you guide your organization’s AI transformation journey. Together your leadership team and key stakeholders need to determine how AI can and will reshape your business, and what will it take to make your organization “AI-ready”. The book is like having a master class series with Seth, who brings his years of expertise as a recognized AI leader.

Each chapter takes you further into the dimensions of AI that will drive your organization’s decisions regarding AI transformation, innovation and responsibility. I agree with his use of on-going readiness assessments to shape the roadmap and measure progress along the way. The AI landscape continues to rapidly evolve―the “key points and actions” at the end of each chapter give you a starter kit to move forward and to adjust as conditions change.

AI iQ for a Human-Focused Future: Strategy, Talent, and Culture provides a compelling argument for the need to address the issue of AI governance. Powerful and transformational technologies, throughout history, have been always followed by new business models that have changed the way we manage people, systems, and processes. And when the hype and the dust of the generative AI settle down, business leaders will be faced with the question of “How can I implement this technology in a responsible and in an engaging way?” Seth's book addresses exactly this question with the clarity and insights that engage the reader.
