Emily M. Bender e Alex Hanna spiegano perché le tecnologie vendute come "intelligenza artificiale" non sono una magia capace di risolvere ogni problema. L'IA di oggi è fatta di sistemi statistici su larga scala, che producono linguaggio e immagini senza comprenderli ‒ non un'intelligenza pensante ma «pappagalli stocastici». Le autrici ne sfatano i falsi miti e mettono in luce le insidie del loro impiego in ambiti chiave ‒ lavoro, sanità, giustizia, istruzione, scienza, arte e giornalismo.

A inteligência artificial já está entre nós. Criada à nossa imagem e semelhança, ela reflete e reproduz os padrões da sociedade. Portanto, é muito fácil deduzir que, se a IA aprende conosco, ela vai repetir não só nossas qualidades, mas também nossos defeitos. Isso significa que devemos temê-la? Estamos próximos das distopias de ficção científica quando falamos de IA? O que precisamos saber para lidar de forma saudável com essa tecnologia?

Every month your competitors stay manual, your structural advantage compounds. Most businesses are still adopting AI the way the market said to start two years ago—pick one process, automate it, see what happens. That advice was correct then. It is now the constraint. The businesses pulling ahead aren't the ones with more tools. They're the ones rebuilding the operating model underneath the tools — and the gap between them and everyone else is where the competitive moat of the next decade is forming right now.

An AI agent is a system with four moving parts. Once you can name those parts and see how they connect, the technology stops being a black box and starts being a tool you can evaluate with the same operational judgment you apply to every other decision in your business. That sentence is the entire premise of AI Agent Foundations — and the layer missing from almost everything else written on the topic.

Artificial intelligence is no longer merely a tool of innovation—it is the decisive terrain of a new global conflict. As rival powers race to dominate algorithms, data, and digital infrastructure, the world has entered a new AI cold war, one that will determine whether the future is governed by liberty or by machine-enabled tyranny. In The New AI Cold War, national-security analyst and bestselling author Robert L. Maginnis warns that this struggle is not hypothetical.

You know AI matters, but you're just not sure what to do with it. Every day brings a new tool, a new headline, or worse, another feeling that you’re falling behind. In your leadership role, you don’t know where or how to get started, much less how to mobilize others. You’re not alone. Most books about AI explain what AI is. This book tells you what to do with it—how to get started right now and set up your organization to drive value with AI within 90 days.

What do you do when nothing forces you to act? For hundreds of thousands of years, the environment answered that question for us. Hunger, danger, competition, and scarcity organized human behavior with merciless efficiency. Now, for the first time in evolutionary history, technology is dismantling the very pressures that gave us purpose—and nothing is replacing them. The result is what Boris Kriger calls the Stimulus Void: a world overflowing with information and capacity, yet strangely empty of reasons to begin.

You didn’t start a business to become its most overworked employee. Yet here you are, buried in emails, chasing follow-ups, juggling systems, and wondering when “freedom” quietly slipped out the back door.

In this engaging, refreshingly human guide, entrepreneur and coach Roger Best cuts through the hype and explains what agentic AI really is, and why it may be the most important business shift you’ll make this decade. No jargon. No techno wizardry.

Second, it looks forward technologically, showing how AI converges with cloud, data, sensors, robotics, and biology and what real adoption (beyond hype) demands.

This book, 2026 Chinese AI Models, is not just a technical overview.

La nueva revolución de la inteligencia profesionalEstamos viviendo una de las transiciones más significativas en la historia del trabajo.

Who’s Holding the Flamethrower? This is Your Field Guide to Avoiding AI’s Worst NightmaresSuppose I have a cat and you’re kind enough to give me a cat guidebook. It works well, the cat is happy, I’m happy. But then I get a tiger. I come to you and say, “I need you to update the cat guidebook to include tigers.” Would you say, “Sure, no problem, they’re both felines”? Or would you look at me with fire in your eyes and exclaim, “Are you nuts? These are wildly different beasts. You need a new guide altogether!” This is the crisis facing businesses today.

There are moments in history when humanity creates a tool so powerful that it changes not only what we do, but how we live, how we work, how we govern, and even how we understand ourselves. Artificial intelligence is one of those tools. We are no longer speaking about a distant future. AI is already here. It writes, designs, analyzes, predicts, translates, diagnoses, recommends, imitates, persuades, and increasingly decides. It is present in our phones, our businesses, our schools, our hospitals, our governments, and our homes. It has become both invisible and unavoidable.
