Some Future Day - by Marc Beckman (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This cutting-edge guide not only shows how AI is transforming our careers, lives, businesses, and more, but also provides easy, actionable steps to make AI work for us.

In this groundbreaking book, celebrated professor, entrepreneur, author, and podcaster Marc Beckman explores the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it's poised to enhance and transform all aspects of society--revolutionizing our careers, enriching our family lives, and bringing our communities closer together. From business and advertising, to medicine, to warfare, to politics--Beckman meticulously explores the different areas where we'll soon feel AI's transformative impact. But that's only half of it. Throughout this book, he also provides the specific steps readers can take now to make sure these coming changes work for them.

From the workplace to the home, AI is poised to reshape the way we approach our professional and personal lives. Beckman uses this book to make the case that AI will free up valuable time and energy, allowing individuals to focus on more creative and meaningful work, but also that AI will create possibilities for engagement that were unthinkable just a generation ago. He shows that with AI as our co-pilot, we'll unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation, and collaboration--all of which will lead to more fulfilling and rewarding careers. Beckman illustrates how AI will strengthen family bonds and improve the quality of our home lives too, changing everything from how we educate our kids to how we stay connected on social media. And as AI becomes more integrated into our cities and towns, it will play a crucial role in fostering a sense of community and belonging; through AI-powered platforms, Beckman shows how we will collaborate on projects, share resources, and support one another in times of need.

This thought-provoking and essential book is a definitive guide to the many ways in which AI will transform our lives for the better . . . but also surprise us, delight us, force us to (re)consider how we interact with one another, and make us question what exactly counts as "human." Join Marc Beckman on this exciting journey as he explores the near-endless possibilities of a world powered and transformed by artificial intelligence. It's an Age of Imagination . . . where the only limit is your own mind.
