“Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.” Dostoevsky’s 19th century quote perfectly applies to the 21st century A.I. revolution.  We’re afraid of the power of this new technology.  We’re unsure how to implement something so mysterious. But it is coming, and Sahota’s book is the best guidebook out there for joining this revolution.  And he somehow succeeds at getting us off the fence and into the camp of enthusiasts. Excited about the cultural Renaissance coming out of the time A.I. will free up.  Relieved that A.I.’s dynamic insights will help fend off problems my companies don’t see coming.  Inspired by the thought of turning managers into super-managers, engineers into super-engineers.  I find myself agreeing with Sahota that, “We live in exciting times, exponential times. Never was a moment riper for disruptors and innovators to dream big human dreams, assisted and enhanced by our A.I. collaborators” --- Grant Van Cleeve, President, Tech Coast Angels OC
