AI at Work by James Poulter

'My view is that the future belongs to the minority of businesses that follow this advice.' Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman, Ogilvy Group

As fears of agentic obsolescence abound, organizations are struggling to implement AI in ways that enhance rather than replace human work. This unique book introduces a full-stack approach that balances technological capability with human values, ethics and practical applications.

AI at Work provides a framework that moves beyond scattered AI experiments toward a coherent strategy that will run throughout your entire company. Rather than focusing on technical capabilities or dystopian warnings, it utilizes a full-stack approach to harness AI's benefits while preserving what matters most – a firm's people, its values and its unique organizational identity.

The global AI market is projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2030, with organizations across sectors racing to implement AI solutions. However, whilst 83% of executives report that AI is a top priority for their organization, only 23% have a comprehensive implementation strategy.

This book fills a critical gap between theoretical AI books and technical implementation guides by offering:
· A practical framework applicable across industries;
· Equal emphasis on technological capability, ethical considerations and real-world applications;
· A human-centred approach that addresses concerns about AI replacing workers; and
· Case studies and examples from diverse sectors.
