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. BOOK PROCEEDS FOR THE AI GENERATION The 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.

Fiction is the safest place to hide a terrible truth, so that all may find it."-Marshall Masters" The core truth of UFOs and the existence of extraterrestrials is buried under a fog of highly-organized disinformation and propaganda. Its mantra is played time-and-again by mainstream media in the voice of an FAA flight controller complaining, "it's that Roswell crap again!" Each time we laugh at that sound bite, we take one more step backwards from the real truth of Roswell. &Not what happened in 1947, but the fatal decisions made in the months following the crash. &This anthology for human freedom uses fiction-based-on-fact. It lasers through this engineered fog and lays bare the big picture truth. &That we're on the verge of becoming a slave species. Is there anything we can do about it? You bet there is! &Freedom is not a right. It is a struggle, and winning this one is less about technology and more about self-determination. Is there something you can do about it today? &Yes, but first, know this. &Not all aliens are our friends. &Conversely, not all aliens are our enemies, and our friends have told how to preserve our freedom -- while there is still time. Today, the determined few will fight for our species. &Tomorrow, it will be an army inspired by their courage. Whether you stand up for freedom today or tomorrow, the battle book section of this anthology offers you a simple plan for making a real difference, real fast. www.AlienSecurity.info
