CEO's AI book addresses management challenges in the AI era
A new book titled 'CEO's AI' focuses on the real management decisions CEOs face in the age of artificial intelligence. It emphasizes the need to redesign not just technology adoption but also organizational structure and governance.
At recent events held at a major bookstore, a common question has arisen: "Is there an AI book for CEOs?" Staff from executive offices and strategic planning departments frequently ask about it. The head of the bookstore's book team noted that when recommending practical guides on AI, many dismiss them as books for employees, while those suggesting industry outlooks are told that decisions are needed rather than investments.
Published on August 24, the book 'CEO's AI' by authors including renowned professors and consultants aims to fill the gap between personal usage guides and investment outlooks. The authors assess what decisions companies need to make regarding AI implementation, data accessibility, and accountability for outcomes.
The timing of the book's release coincides with the fourth quarter, when many companies finalize their business plans and budgets for the following year. Decisions on AI budget allocation are typically made at this time. A key figure from the bookstore's technical department mentioned that the book is structured in such a way that busy executives can quickly read a summary and focus on the chapters most relevant to them.
The authors conclude that the transition to AI should not be seen merely as a technological project but as an organizational design project. Without restructuring the organization, the benefits of AI may only enhance individual productivity without creating lasting improvements.
