Official Book Launch
Join AESE Business School for the official global launch of the book “AI and the Art of Being Human: A guide to thriving with AI while rediscovering yourself in the process.”
The event will feature presentations by co-authors Jeffrey Abbott, a Founding Partner at Blitzscaling Ventures and the Founder of AI Salon global community, and Andrew Maynard PhD, the Director of the Future of Being Human Initiative at Arizona State University, followed by facilitated conversation that invites audience participation.
AI and the Art of Being Human is a book for anyone grappling with how to find and create meaning in a world where artificial intelligent apps, agents, bots, systems, and more, are increasingly ubiquitous.
This includes founders, tech startups, investors, and large organizations (public and private) that are developing and using AI tools.
But it also includes educators, students, parents, artists, writers, and pretty much anyone asking “What makes me me when AI can finish my sentences, replicate my style, and predict my choices?”
Practical Tools
The book is built around 21 practical tools for finding meaning and thriving in an AI-dominated world. These are sophisticated enough for organizations to adopt and put into practice, yet simple enough for anyone to use in their personal and professional lives.
Illustrative narratives
The tools and insights in the book are introduced, developed, and demonstrated, through fictional illustrative narratives. Part of the reason for this is that real-life cases simply don’t reflect emerging challenges and opportunities in ways that make what we explore in the book meaningful and accessible. The fictional narratives embrace scenarios that span generations, locations, cultures, professional circumstances, and lived experiences.
Business savvy and academic insights
Written by a venture capitalist investing in early-stage AI and a scientist and academic studying technology transitions, the book cuts across domains and thinking about AI in ways that few others do.
Guiding framework
The book draws on a guiding framework that is built on four pillars: Curiosity, Intentionality, Clarity, and Care. These underlying concepts thread through every narrative, every tool, and every insight in AI and the Art of Being Human.
A book signing will take place after the event followed by networking reception.
