Most organizations are implementing AI without understanding what makes it transformative. This book offers a new framework built around nine components of human intelligence — and shows, in real time, what it looks like when AI augments each one. Written for professionals and leaders who want to move beyond the hype and experience genuine AI co-thinking firsthand.
