Every organization is hearing “adopt AI.” Few are hearing how to do it well, or who pays when it’s done badly.

AI Everywhere, Volume 2 brings you straight answers from people doing the work: 12 women & nonbinary authors who use AI in drug labs, hospitals, tax agencies, marketing teams, business schools, and mission-driven organizations, and know when not to use it. It’s part of our series of human-centered guides to living and working well in an age of intelligent machines.

What you’ll learn:

- Keep humans meaningfully in charge. Learn the conditions that make AI oversight real rather than ceremonial, and how to build ethical guardrails into high-stakes automated decisions like tax administration. (Ch. 1, 9)

- Lead AI adoption by working with people, not around them. Understand why resistance to AI is often about identity rather than skills, and see how one business school models the human+AI collaboration it teaches. (Ch. 3, 8)

- Use AI where it earns its place in science and healthcare. Cut through the hype to see what AI can & can’t do in drug discovery and patient care, including the risks that come with the opportunities. (Ch. 5, 10)

- Bring human context to AI-driven marketing. Discover why the most valuable AI skill in marketing isn’t technical, and how a human-centered approach makes AI work harder for your brand & your audience. (Ch. 2)

- Decide whether and how to use AI for social good. Weigh the benefits & costs of AI in organizations whose mission is to improve the world, and see how neurodivergent perspectives are reshaping human-centered technology. (Ch. 4, 7)

- See the hidden human cost of AI. Understand the labor practices behind today’s AI systems so you can make more ethical choices as a buyer, builder, or leader. (Ch. 6)

Our 12 authors from 7 countries bring decades of combined hands-on experience with AI tools. Volume 2 will help you see the pitfalls & upsides of business AI applications so you can make better decisions in your professional life.
