Paperback. Your job is probably safe. Your job description is another matter.Every week brings a headline announcing that AI will take half the jobs by Thursday, and another promising it will fix everything else by Friday. Both are wrong. The real story is more useful to anyone who has to turn up to work on Monday.The Algorithm Will Be With You Shortly is a practical, funny guide to what AI is doing to work right now: which tasks it takes, which jobs it creates, and what the people coming out ahead do differently.Inside: Why the job-loss headlines get the arithmetic wrong, and where the real displacement is happeningHow AI creates work as well as removing it, and how to be first in the queue for the new kindWhat Asia's relationship-first approach to technology can teach Western managersThe skills worth building now, from prompt engineering to the emotional intelligence no algorithm has yet managed to fakeGari Johnson has spent four decades selling technology across Asia-Pacific. That is long enough to have sat through every revolution the industry announced, and to have watched most of them arrive late. He writes for managers who want to know what is real, professionals who want to stay employable, and anyone who suspects their toaster has better judgement than their boss.Mostly harmless. Occasionally useful. Reliably cheaper than a consultant. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

The Algorithm Will Be With You Shortly:
A Mostly Harmless Guide to AI, Work, and Why Your Toaster Might Be Smarter Than Your Boss
By Gari Johnson
Don't Panic! The AI revolution has arrived, but it’s not the dystopian nightmare you might fear.
This isn't just another overhyped narrative claiming that AI will miraculously solve all your problems or instil a sense of dread that robots are poised to snatch your job at any moment.
Instead, it's a practical, witty, and refreshingly optimistic journey into how AI is already transforming everything from your daily commute to your career trajectory, often in ways that would catch even the most experienced tech executives off guard and have them reaching for a comforting cup of tea.
What You'll Discover:
• The Great Reshuffling: Delve into the complex reality of AI job displacement—it's far more layered than the sensationalist headlines suggest.
• The Innovation Dividend: Learn how, with the right strategies, AI has the potential to create more jobs than it displaces—opening doors to exciting new prospects for everyone.
• Asian AI Wisdom: Gain insights from Asia's relationship-centric, harmony-driven AI approach that the West can embrace for a more equitable future.
• The Employment Evolution: Discover actionable strategies for thriving in an AI-enhanced workplace, covering everything from prompt engineering to developing emotional intelligence.
• Cultural Intelligence: Investigate how diverse cultures are shaping AI to reflect their core values—and what that means for our interconnected world.
• The Governance Challenge: Navigate the intricate landscape of AI regulation in democracies, akin to timing a Formula 1 race with nothing but a sundial.
Who Will Benefit:
• Business leaders and entrepreneurs eager to understand how AI will reshape their sectors and drive innovation.
• Managers and team leaders seeking clarity on distinguishing genuine AI advancements from mere marketing hype.
• Tech enthusiasts and curious minds keen to explore how technology is influencing societal structures and workplace dynamics.
• Professionals across all industries looking to equip themselves with practical insights and strategies, all served with a delightful dose of wit.
• Educators and trainers wanting to prepare the next generation for an AI-driven future.
• Policy makers and regulators tasked with navigating the evolving landscape of AI governance.
Embrace the future of AI now! Dive into this insightful journey and equip yourself with the knowledge to shape how technology influences our lives. The possibilities are limitless—let's navigate this exciting landscape together!
