Summary

AI is radically transforming business. Are you ready?

Look around you. Artificial intelligence is no longer just a futuristic notion. It's here right now - in software that senses what we need, supply chains that "think" in real time, and robots that respond to changes in their environment. Twenty-first-century pioneer companies are already using AI to innovate and grow fast. The bottom line is this: Businesses that understand how to harness AI can surge ahead. Those that neglect it will fall behind. Which side are you on?

In Human + Machine, Accenture leaders Paul R. Daugherty and H. James (Jim) Wilson show that the essence of the AI paradigm shift is the transformation of all business processes within an organization - whether related to breakthrough innovation, everyday customer service, or personal productivity habits. As humans and smart machines collaborate ever more closely, work processes become more fluid and adaptive, enabling companies to change them on the fly - or to completely reimagine them. AI is changing all the rules of how companies operate.

Based on the authors' experience and research with 1,500 organizations, the book reveals how companies are using the new rules of AI to leap ahead on innovation and profitability as well as what you can do to achieve similar results. It describes six entirely new types of hybrid human + machine roles that every company must develop, and it includes a "leader's guide" with the five crucial principles required to become an AI-fueled business.

Human + Machine provides the missing and much-needed management playbook for success in our new age of AI.

Great summary of skills and jobs of the future

Very interesting storytelling on the upcoming skills and jobs to be demanded in the future. Since I work as leadership consultant is very relevant for me to know how AI can augment talent of humans. Also a very insightful summary of new skills is presented.

Great intro in AI and it's applications

Great book I found on the use of AI, it's application but most importantly how it helps people rather than hinder them in the right way. Listening to this book have me great ideas to automate mundane tasks people do in call centres and back offices each day. Its certainly boosted my enthusiasm for getting in the field of AI.

A.I & Me

Excellent insight into our future relationship with A.I and how it will enhance human abilities. I love the example of how A.I will have a similar impact on humankind as the bicycle. Enhancing the human ability and accelerating us as a society, going farther & going faster.

Like a very long movie traiker

No offence to the author or the voice - he is just a victim of movie trailer style. The fault lies on the producer who chose such an inapropriate type of performance that didn’t really allow to listen to that very tiny amount of new and insightful content that this books had. It’s pretty kuch enough to listen to the summary in the last chapter

Highly repetitive with good thinking

Reads like a series of pitch decks. With good insight if you have the patience
