Heart of AI: Building a People-First Culture in an AI-Driven World

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes our workplaces, leadership, and personal interactions, we find ourselves facing a profound paradox: AI makes us more efficient yet risks diminishing the human connection at our core. The Heart of AI offers an incisive exploration into the hidden tension between machine-driven efficiency and the irreplaceable value of empathy, trust, and emotional intelligence in an automated world.

Drawing upon insightful analysis, real-world case studies, and critical questions, this book navigates the complexities of the Jevons Paradox in AI, where greater efficiency often drives increased demand rather than simplification. It confronts critical issues of algorithmic bias, ethical decision-making, and the essential role of human judgment in leadership.

But above all, this is a call to action, a vision of Heartificial Intelligence, urging us to infuse technology with empathy and prioritize meaningful human connections. Leaders, decision-makers, and organizations will discover how AI, when balanced with emotional intelligence, can amplify human creativity, foster genuine engagement, and inspire purposeful workplaces.

In an age dominated by algorithms, this book challenges readers to reclaim what makes us uniquely human: the heart at the center of every machine.
