Human + Machine outlines the opportunities and challenges for executives, workers, and students in the Age of AI. Along with its great promise, AI will also cause disruption to certain professions, and many people will need education, training and support to prepare for newly created jobs as well as jobs that are transformed. To support this need, the authors are donating the royalties received from the sale of this book to fund education and retraining programs focused on developing fusion skills for the age of artificial intelligence.
