Business ethics; Management & management techniques; Artificial intelligence

In an era where AI isn't just a tool but an active collaborator - writing code, drafting briefs, and reshaping jobs - MANAGING AI: Humans, Agents, and the Future of Work delivers a timely blueprint for harnessing technology without losing our humanity. Drawing from exclusive 2025 interviews with over 50 SaaS CEOs and innovators on the ""Pitch, Build, Scale"" podcast, this groundbreaking book explores the whirlwind of AI adoption: from the ""code that writes back"" to the ethical dilemmas of data privacy, deepfakes, and workforce displacement.

Chris Fanchi, MBA, debunks myths of mass job loss and infallible AI, offering practical mindsets-the Steward's Toolkit-for individuals and organizations to thrive. Discover how AI accelerates teams, augments skills like empathy and strategic thinking, and demands new metrics prioritizing ""jobs enriched"" over mere efficiency. Through vivid scenarios-from an Augmented Era of human-AI synergy to a dystopian Algorithmic Divide-this book urges proactive stewardship: guiding AI to amplify ingenuity, bridge skill gaps, and foster equitable futures.

Essential reading for leaders, workers, and policymakers, Managing AI is a call to action: Teach the machine, save the team, and steer innovation toward a world where technology serves us all.
