Don't Forget the Humans

Sustainable Progress in the Age of AI

Beschreibung

In a world rushing to automate everything, Don't Forget the Humans: Sustainable Progress in the Age of AI offers a timely and deeply personal reckoning with what we risk leaving behind. Joshua Gideon-cybersecurity leader, technologist, and someone who once doubted he'd "amount to anything"-invites readers into a rich, honest exploration of how systems designed for efficiency can quietly erode human dignity. This is not another tech panic book. Nor is it a utopian celebration of AI. Instead, Gideon speaks from lived experience-childhood illness, early career missteps, leadership hard-won through failure-to examine what happens when we build technologies, workplaces, and cultures that prioritize optimization but forget the people inside them. With nearly three decades in the technology sector, Gideon pulls back the curtain on automation's hidden costs: burnout disguised as productivity, workers reduced to metrics, leaders so focused on speed they lose sight of purpose. He unpacks the emotional and ethical toll of algorithmic systems, sharing stories that are as practical as they are profoundly human. Don't Forget the Humans is a challenge to technologists, policymakers, and leaders: Innovation without intention can strip away meaning. Grounded in empathy, wisdom, and ethical urgency, this book is not a call to slow down innovation - it's a call to steer it with conscience. At its heart, Don't Forget the Humans is about agency-how we reclaim it in our systems, our work, and ourselves. It's a blueprint for building a future where progress and compassion don't compete but thrive together.
