Description
The Human Edge is a call to action for anyone who wants to lead - and not merely follow - using artificial intelligence (AI) to transform the way we make decisions. But as Cheryl Strauss Einhorn shows, AI can either simplify complex problems or obscure them, expand your thinking or constrain it. With AI becoming more embedded in our work and personal lives, the challenge we face is no longer about using AI - it is about leading AI with clarity, discernment, and a commitment to human agency.
This approachable guide for professionals, leaders, and teams who want to make better, more confident choices when using AI systems, offers practical tools to help frame problems and surface solutions, using AI to augment - not replace - your judgment. Urgent, empowering, and grounded in real-world examples, The Human Edge will show you and your organization how to confidently make use of AI's vast capabilities for smart decision-making by emphasizing the importance of human curiosity, perspectives, values and the courage to define and achieve success.
