The contemporary organizational landscape is characterized by a fundamental divergence between the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence capabilities and the static nature of the governance systems designed to oversee them.
The shift from the "Age of Agile" to the "Era of Artificial Intelligence" necessitates a transformation in the governing logic of the firm.

We address that challenge in the forthcoming book, Govern AI. Stay tuned for pre orders!
