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.

It challenges the prevailing hype around AI, offering a refreshingly realistic perspective on its evolution, from traditional data science to the transformative power of generative AI (GenAI).

What sets this book apart is its emphasis on practicality and real-world advice derived from extensive field experience, moving beyond mere case studies. The strategies outlined for fostering an AI-embracing environment are invaluable, focusing on strategic leadership, talent development, and practical steps for implementation. The book not only identifies the critical role of the Chief AI Officer but also underscores the significance of diversity within AI teams.

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.

There's far too much hype about AI. For starters, it's been around for years, steering our cars and shuffling our playlists. Much of the excitement about new, generative AI approaches such as ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion stems from the fact that they're consumer friendly-they literally have no learning curve, and will help you to use them. But as Seth points out in AI iQ for a Human-Focused Future, we'd be wrong to dismiss this as mere hyperbole. Such technologies are poised to change how we work, play, live, and even see ourselves as a species. The book takes a rigorous approach to the changes every CIO will face in the coming months and years, laying out the technical, cultural, and legal issues ahead. If you're planning on transforming your organization with AI, this is a guidebook; and if you're not, you'll soon be obsolete.
