It is not theoretical. It is not distant. It is already here-integrated into business workflows, education systems, public infrastructure, creative tools, and global decision-making processes.
This book is not just about AI as a technology. It is about the emergence of a new age-what historians may one day call the Intelligence Age.

The future belongs to organizations that master AI transformation. The blueprint is clear, the path is proven, and the opportunity is unprecedented. The only question remaining is: will you lead the transformation or be transformed by it?Customer Reviews
