Charting the AI Transition in Education and Business Environments

This book delineates a comprehensive framework designed to ultimately assist organizations as they navigate the critical juncture-often termed the inflection point-in adopting generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). Addressing the exigent shift in organizational strategy mandated by Industry 4.0, and urging a transition from mere digital transformation to what is being progressively understood as 'generative transformation,' it fills a conspicuous lacuna in both academic and practical discourses by presenting a timely synthesis of research, empirical studies, and case analyses. The authors utilize an interdisciplinary methodology, bridging the epistemological divide between the technological intricacies of generative AI and its effective implementation within institutional frameworks. Reorienting the focus of organizational leaders from a simplistic replacement paradigm to one of technological-human augmentation, it works toward a prescriptive blueprint for enabling organizations to adopt generative AI without compromising their most valuable asset: human intellectual and emotional capital. Fostering interdisciplinary dialog among academics, industry professionals, and policymakers, it fills a critical gap in current discourses and serves as a catalyst for future research and collaboration.
