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

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 leaderâEUR(TM)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 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.
