About the book

As AI becomes more widespread in the workplace and in society, what impact will it have on your job, your life and the world around you?

If AI can take on more and more of the tasks people perform at work, and do them more efficiently, where does that leave human beings?

Taking the Anxiety Out of AI explains how to live with AI, how to benefit from it, and how to avoid being replaced by it. The book explores the differences between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, considers what tasks will always be performed better by humans, and sets out possible futures in which humans and AI work together. It provides tools to work out how AI will affect your role, what skills you need to learn, and which mindsets will equip you to thrive in the future. The book concludes with a guide to current AI programs and how to use them.

Whether you have experience with AI, or simply want to learn more about it, this book is an invaluable guide for navigating your future.
