The Humachine: AI, Human Virtues, and the Superintelligent Enterprise
Autor Nada R. Sanders, John D. Wooden Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 mar 2024
The first edition of The Humachine offered a foundation for a new form of enterprise, integrating AI technology and human resources to optimize the unique advantages possessed by each. Now, in the face of the ‘Great Resignation’ and ‘botsourcing’—where an activity previously done by humans is replaced by technology—thought leaders Sanders and Wood present a more positive and promising scenario, where an enterprise recognizes human resources as an asset class that possesses skills that cannot be replaced by automation. Enlightened business leaders will look to create synergy between technology and people, enabling the organization to maximize its capabilities by elevating the basis of decision making with closer-to-perfect information and rationality. This book provides a roadmap for how to do this and achieve collective intelligence at the enterprise level: superintelligence. More specifically, it answers these questions, and more.
- Why must an enterprise achieve superintelligence as a competitive advantage in the age of AI?
- How can any organization achieve superintelligence by following the 4-I model?
- What is the step-by-step process an enterprise should follow in becoming a Humachine?
- What strategies can be used by enterprise leaders to ‘futureproof’ the Humachine against uncertainty?

“With the advent of generative artificial intelligence, every enterprise is striving to augment its people’s uniquely human qualities with these revolutionary technologies. Using timely new material, Sanders and Wood demonstrate the precise steps organizations can use to harness AI to amplify our most virtuous human attributes and synthesize a “collective superintelligence.” Part management guidebook, part treatise on the quickening march of AI and its implications for humanity, the second edition of Humachine is an essential text for our uncharted economic frontier.”
