The AI-Ready Human: Your 90-Day Program to Stay Relevant as Technology Transforms Work
A practical, grounded guide to the human capabilities that matter most - Garry Ridge - Inc. Magazine Top 10 Most Admired CEOs.
AI is rewriting the rules of work. Here's how to adapt.
AI is much more than a new technology tool. It's fundamentally disrupting how work is done. And in the process, it's creating new winners and losers.
The most valuable professionals in an AI-driven world understand the technology. But they've also figured out how to become conductors of the AI orchestra, using it to do better, more fulfilling work than they have ever done.
The AI-Ready Human will help you build the skills that make you irreplaceable in an AI-dominated world.
Part book, part brain workout regimen.
The AI-Ready Human replaces traditional chapters with 90 concepts (days) that build on each other to make you AI-Ready. Every concept includes a clear explanation, a discussion of why it matters for your career, a set of exercises you can use to grow, and a reflection prompt that helps lock in behavior change.
Each day builds on the last, so by day 90, you won't just understand these ideas—you'll have practiced them into habits. You will be able to:
• Use AI thoughtfully, without losing your judgment or identity
• Make better decisions in uncertain times
• Stay motivated and in control as work transforms
Who this is for:
If you work, and you are human, it's for you. But it is particularly useful for:
• Working professionals worried about staying relevant as industries transform
• Managers leading teams through change management and disruption
• Executives needing to understand AI's human impact, not just the tech
What makes this different:
This book is based on interviews with over 200 professionals who are sustainably effective with AI each day. Author Paul Slater draws on 30+ years of experience in advanced technology, including ten years at Microsoft and contributing to AI think tanks at Harvard, Duke, and Arizona State University.
