So Many Helpful Viewpoints

Now that I’m using AI frequently in my work, I find my interest in it to be increasing, and this latest book, with its myriad of AI experts, has certainly increased my own understanding of the various ways that people and businesses are using AI, along with the many caveats around it.

Brief compilation of a possible big disruption for humanity.

Amazing book. It shows in a good way what the AI can really mean for humanity and its future. I particularly enjoyed chapter 10: Awakening beyond the singularity, and how it reflects some of my personal views on these topics.

The AI Universe

Thriving Within Civilization’s Next Big Disruption

Authors: Dr. Anastassia Lauterbach, +33 leading AI experts

Artificial intelligence is transforming industries, reshaping careers, and redefining what it means to be human in an increasingly machine-driven world. The AI Universe: Thriving Within Civilisation’s Next Big Disruption is a guide to understanding this shift and ensuring you don’t miss the AI revolution.

Rather than viewing AI as a distant, abstract concept, this book brings the conversation down to earth. Featuring insights from 34 AI experts, including professors, engineers, consultants, lawyers, healthcare leaders, and tech innovators, you’ll discover how AI is being applied right now in business, education, law, marketing, cybersecurity, healthcare, and more.

Each chapter offers a unique, stand-alone perspective while contributing to the shared goal of helping you thrive in the age of AI. Beyond the technical, the book also raises deeper questions: Should AI have a “voice” in shaping civilisation’s future? Can machines spark truly original human thought? Where do ethics, wisdom, and responsibility remain solely ours?

Whether you’re excited about AI’s possibilities or anxious about its risks, this book equips you with clarity, context, and strategies to navigate the disruption ahead. The AI bus is leaving—make sure you’re on it.

The Artificial Intelligence Imperative

A Practical Roadmap for Business

Authors: Dr. Anastassia Lauterbach, Andrea Bonime-Blanc

This practical guide to artificial intelligence and its impact on industry dispels common myths and calls for cross-sector, collaborative leadership for the responsible design and embedding of AI in the daily work of businesses and oversight by boards.

Artificial intelligence has arrived, and it’s coming to a business near you. The disruptive impact of AI on the global economy―from health care to energy, financial services to agriculture, and defence to media―is enormous. Technology literacy is a must for traditional businesses, their boards, policy makers, and governance professionals.

This is the first book to explain where AI comes from, why it has emerged as one of the most powerful forces in mergers and acquisitions and research and development, and what companies need to do to implement it successfully. It equips business leaders with a practical roadmap for competing and even thriving in the face of the coming AI revolution. The authors analyse competitive trends, provide industry and governance examples, and explain interactions between AI and other digital technologies, such as blockchain, cybersecurity, and the Internet of Things. At the same time, AI experts will learn how their research and products can increase the competitiveness of their businesses, and corporate boards will come away with a thorough knowledge of the AI governance, ethics, and risk questions to ask.

China in the spotlight of the 21st century

Driving force for business, science and society

Editor: Tobias Loitsch

China has experienced breathtaking development in recent years. Nevertheless, the image of China, particularly in the Western world, is shaped by ideas and clichés. Do we really understand Chinese society, the people and the economy? How has China managed to achieve such rapid economic growth?

The future economic centre of the world is no longer the Atlantic and Europe. The future will be played out around the Pacific. The Chinese government is preparing for this coming era in the 21st century. We in Europe and the EU should do the same. But to do so, we would have to agree on what we actually want.

This book is intended to help create understanding, impart knowledge and share personal experiences by providing different perspectives. Because only openness and mutual respect can help us understand China, especially from a German perspective. With contributions by: Anno Dederichs, Hubertus Domschke, Hans-Peter Friedrich, Madeleine Genzsch, Sinja Hahn, Julia Henningsen, Alexandra Hildebrandt, Bill Holler, Anastasia Lauterbach, Li Dunrui, Helmut Merkel, Marcel Münch, Stefanie Liliane Meyer, Stefan Piech, Alexandra Stefanov, Johanna Stepan-Meyer, Peter Tichauer, Miriam Theobald, Thomas Cherico Wanger, Kevin Wörner, Jörg Wuttke and Mingqi Xie.

China can be a driving force for our development.

1.4 billion people. We need their experience and services. Experts from various sectors of society show how China can be a driving force for our development. It is a basis for reflection and discussion.
