Wired for Change: How AI, Data, and Focused Models Will Shape your Organizations Future (Unlocking AI in the Enterprise: From Strategic Foundations to Operational Mastery)

What if AI wasn’t just a tool—but the foundation of every decision, process, and product in your world?

In Wired for Change: AI, Data, and the Future of Everything, Cory Smith—innovation leader and digital transformation strategist—offers an urgent and inspiring guide to navigating the biggest shift of our time: the rise of AI-native systems and intelligent enterprises.

This book cuts through the hype and breaks down:

• Why AI is more evolution than revolution—and how it mirrors past tech patterns

• How the marketing of AI has blurred real progress with rebranded old ideas

• Why small, purpose-built models will drive the next wave—not massive monoliths

• How orchestration layers, not standalone models, will become the real differentiators

• What it means to build, govern, and lead an AI-native organization

• Where the future is headed—from edge AI and personalized experiences to intelligent UIs and model marketplaces

With expert commentary, strategic blueprints, case studies from Tesla, Amazon, Moderna, Spotify, and Walmart—and a vision for what’s next—this book is a field guide for technologists, leaders, builders, and curious minds shaping the future.
