"One of the biggest mistakes I see is when AI is introduced top-down, without involving the people it affects. That’s not just bad change management, it’s a missed opportunity. The people closest to the work understand its complexity, its emotional dynamics, and its risks. If you want AI to land well, involve them in redesigning the workflows. Let them guide where AI supports, and where a human touch must remain."

Humans and AI: The Future of Work

The author handles her subject matter from a very person-centred approach, and it is written in a very relatable, informal and accessible style. The fact that you need to 'enthuse' your users as well as educate and empower them is something which is often overlooked, yet actually key to the success of a software project. However, it is a central theme in this book, and it offers great insight on how to achieve this.
