Leadership & AI
Build What AI Cannot
Finding Human Advantage in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Death didn't teach Brian Barbuto how to die. It taught him how to live. Drawing on 40+ years as an entrepreneur, developer, and mentor, Barbuto makes the case that the future belongs to those who build the uniquely human qualities AI can amplify but never replace: character, judgment, creativity, courage, and vision.
For readers of Simon Sinek, James Clear, Patrick Lencioni, and Adam Grant.
