description: 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 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 1500 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 leaders 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. BOOK PROCEEDS FOR THE AI GENERATIONThe authors' goal in publishing Human  Machine is to help executives workers students and others navigate the changes that AI is making to business and the economy. They believe AI will bring innovations that truly improve the way the world works and lives. However AI will cause disruption and many people will need education training and support to prepare for the newly created jobs. 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.
