While other books and experts talk about how to add AI incrementally into a business, The AI Activation Code has a very different – and refreshing – approach. The four pillars laid out in the book get you from understanding the failings of the old way of using AI in business and the right way to build your business with AI all the way up to scaling to AI Autonomy. The clear examples, thoughtful questions, and practical approaches to real change make this a must read for mid-market businesses looking for the right way to scale with AI. Well done, Chris and Neil!
