Since moving multiple times, I've gradually converted physical books to e-books. I usually open e-books during my commute or while resting at cafes. Rakuten Kobo is like my portable bookshelf, allowing me to switch between different reading contents anytime, helping me think through business problems and learn.
Especially recently, the AI topic has been quite heated—it seems like missing even a day of attention might cause you to fall behind. But correspondingly, I'm also very concerned about future trends in the AI era, business possibilities, and solutions for future talent.
When serving clients, their questions always center on "how to use AI to replace manpower." After digging deeper into the issues, clients don't actually want to eliminate "people"—they want to find talent and business models more beneficial to their enterprises. Thus, technology and AI tools have become the new solution in this trend. To understand these issues and find answers, you can actually discover unchanging insights and case studies from contextual, theory-based books.
I recommend 8 great books to you:
One. Small Is the New Big - Herman Tanneja, Kevin Maney
▎ An innovative trend combining cutting-edge technology and economics is disrupting giant industries. Now, scale is no longer an advantage but rather a drawback and burden. Startups are using AI to automate work that previously required expensive investments, and they rent various cloud platforms to build businesses, thus breaking free from last century's model. Small scale can also achieve great things!
Two.
▎ "The Causal Revolution" affects not just artificial intelligence but research fields across the board
Today's machine learning operates based on "correlation" rather than "causation." If we can successfully introduce causal thinking to computers, it will transform computers into true scientists, making them our capable partners and providing us with more reasonable insights. Since causal thinking can demonstrate responsibility, computers can thus possess moral sense—"moral AI" is the ultimate pursuit of the causal revolution in artificial intelligence. The author describes this as "the first and best gift artificial intelligence gives to humanity."
Three.
▎ "Evolutionary thinking" is a tool to help everyone recover their creativity, allowing non-geniuses like us to correctly understand what creation means and clearly comprehend the processes it must undergo. At the same time, we realize that creation transcends willpower—through the exchange between "random variation" and "necessary selection," anyone can increase the probability of creation happening. Learning effective thinking patterns achieves the expression of creativity. More importantly, as more people express their creativity, we will unite our collective strength to contribute to the world.
Four.
▎ Go beyond digital transformation and use artificial intelligence and big data to create seamless customer experiences. In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, digital transformation alone is no longer enough.
Every enterprise should adopt omnichannel transformation centered on customers!
Five.
▎ Upgrade parenting mindset and strategy to prepare children with the ability to welcome the new world of the future!
Parents in the AI era must provide their children with tools for self-actualization and make them capable of continuous self-upgrade and self-renewal. First, we must become an upgraded new version of parents, providing our children with unique value.
Karen's addition: Many parents still restrict their children's screen time and hope they return to reading paper books. However, if children use technology appropriately, learning applications early and becoming familiar with the inherent logic between software and creating possibilities, actually using AI earlier can give children more opportunities for exploration, because that's exactly the future they'll face!
Six.
Should more reveal their true face. Enterprises should discover "atypical" talent.
Who are the talents not eliminated by AI? Talent recruitment is the most headache-inducing problem for CEOs and senior executives. Especially under globalization and technological development, the world changes rapidly and corporate competition intensifies. When ChatGPT overturns our imagination of future work, the definition of "talent" has been completely rewritten!
