Navigating AI: Key Reads for Effective Leadership

(These two books will give you a strong foundation.)

As someone who helps professionals navigate AI in healthcare, I’m often asked:

“What books should I read to better understand AI?”

Here are two that stand out:

1. How Smart Machines Think – Sean Gerrish

This book breaks down how AI and machine learning power the technology we use every day.

It covers:
🔹 How Netflix recommends content using AI
🔹 How self-driving cars make split-second decisions
🔹 How AI beats humans in complex games like Go and poker

But what makes this book special?

It doesn’t just highlight AI’s successes—it explores the trial-and-error process, ethical concerns, and real-world limitations of building intelligent systems.

2. ChatGPT and the Future of AI – Terrence J. Sejnowski

If you want to understand the rise of AI-powered language models, this book is a must-read.

It explains:
🔹 How AI like ChatGPT is transforming communication and creativity
🔹 The science behind large language models
🔹 The ethical concerns around bias, misinformation, and data privacy

Sejnowski also dives into AI’s future impact—on education, business, and even human intelligence.

These two books offer a solid foundation in AI’s capabilities, challenges, and future trajectory—critical for any leader navigating AI applications today.

Curious—have you read either of these? Or do you have an AI book you’d recommend? Drop it in the comments! 👇
