AI and the Digital Transformation

Forthcoming Special Issue

There is no hotter business topic – at least on days when there isn’t a bank run – than generative artificial intelligence, a new catalyst for the broader digital transformation. In Issue 3 of The C-Suite newsletter, we have picked the best recent articles and books that analyze different dimensions of this transformation in ways that every senior executive should know. In Applied Business Strategy, the focus is on the evolutionary dynamics of the AI ecosystem. For Trendspotting, we draw on an analysis of past technological revolutions to make predictions about the current one. In China Matters, we review and comment on “Chip Wars” – a book about the competition between the US and China over computer chips. For Reinventing the Wheel, we assess the current state of automation in vehicles, with some broader lessons for the future of AI. Finally, for What The Fact, we review the new book A Thousand Brains, along with two other books (Superintelligence and Life 3.0) that Bill Gates credits with shaping his view on the future of AI.
