This book definitely fills a gap that we have at our company. While leaders are pushing AI there is not a process for us to become involved in the outcome or to let them know the risks that we see.

This book is an excellent read especially for those that want insight into the AI world. I found it’s insightful from a financial perspective too - it would have helped me in accounting management especially in forecasting and budgeting. Kim Resch, you’re a brilliant writer!

This concept is of the utmost importance in our new modern world. Accountability and transparency should be the direction that AI takes companies of distinction. You hit the nail on the head, Kim.

Organizations move faster than their decision systems. Accountability becomes unclear. Authority becomes fragmented. And leaders discover that governance cannot be delegated when the stakes are high. Kim is addressing a question that many executives are only beginning to ask: How do we maintain control, accountability, and sound judgment when the technology is evolving faster than the systems designed to govern it?
