Synopsis

Leaders, don't let AI get the best of you. AI is coming fast and will affect every part of a business, including the role of the leader. And up until now, leaders have largely ceded their role in the transformation—pushing determination of strategy out to tech teams and leaving investment decisions with groups that don't have a full view of the organization. Just when responsible leadership is more imperative than ever, leaders are not stepping up to understand and execute in the new world of human-machine collaboration. A generation of AI transformation failures awaits if leaders don't connect their use of AI to their strategies. This book helps leaders retake control of the wildly rapid deployment of AI across organizations. It outlines cleanly and concisely nine actions leaders need to take to successfully steward a transition to a more AI-centric future that will lead to growth for all—companies and workers—and avoid the kinds of mistakes that author David De Cremer has seen many early adopters already make. This is not a book about AI technology itself or the latest developments in machine learning but rather a clarion call for leaders to take their rightful place at the front of the AI revolution and lead their organization into the new world.

Goodreads review by Leonardo on August 28, 2024

"The AI-Savvy Leader: Nine Ways to Take Back Control and Make AI Work" is easily one of the best books I've read on the importance of the leader's role in implementing artificial intelligence projects - and, in fact, it applies to digital transformation projects in general.

Goodreads review by Rob on August 15, 2024

While this book is ostensibly about AI, I think this book could be reframed to address any shiny new technology that business leaders seek out, following the latest trends. In reality, this book is more about the basics of business, leadership, and change management. In summary, don't forget all you......more

Goodreads review by Nischaya on October 04, 2024
