Two of the world's leading researchers on behavior and decision-making join forces to equip readers with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to live our best, most human lives in an age of machines. “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous.” —E.O WilsonOur choices and experience of the world are increasingly shaped by powerful interests and godlike technology. Somebody else is deciding what ‘good’ choices look like—and often that means good for them, not for you. From the social media apps hijacking your attention and algorithms quietly curating your reality, to the markets profiting from confusion and AI systems slowly eroding your thinking: your choices are shaped by people who understand your psychology better than you do, and use that knowledge for their own ends. Against this backdrop, it is easy to feel diminished and 'done to'.This book is about fighting back—individually and collectively—and becoming the best of ourselves. Becoming super-humans. Drawing on over 1,000 experiments run across more than 70 countries, Halpern and Costa show how you can boost your own agency and decision-making, how we can upgrade our systems and institutions so that it is easier for everyone to choose well, and how we can shape AI so that it amplifies human capability rather than replacing it.Super-Human ultimately asks us to make the biggest choice of all: in an age when machines can think, decide and even feel on our behalf—what kind of humans do we want to be? <ul><li>Human. Reclaiming agency and becoming a better decision-maker (Chapters 1-3). Understanding how human attention and sense-making works, so that we can self-guide, rather than be hacked by others - and more effectively turn our intentions into action.</li><li>Supra-human. Building systems that support us to choose well together. (Chapters 4-7). Humans are social creatures, who think aloud and together. It's a feature not a fault. Social networks, markets and institutions strongly enable us to achieve things we could never do alone, but also operate as ‘supra-human’ influences on our behavior. Yet individually and collectively we have power to channel and shape them too - more power than we realize</li><li>Super-human. Shaping the technology that will shape us. (Chapter 8) AI could be the ultimate ‘bicycle of the mind’, but it can also become a crutch rather than a coach. It poses opportunity and challenge - to boost our capabilities to superhuman levels, or to become our inadvertent master.</li><li>Future-human. What kind of humans do we ultimately want to be? (Conclusion) Our minds today have been shaped by the technologies and institutions of our ancestors, in ways they could not have anticipated. We can make choices that will alter our minds and those that follow: what shall we choose?</li></ul>

The TWI Implementation Field Guide

When an AI initiative dies, the machine takes the blame. It's almost always the wrong suspect. Every executive who has quietly shelved an AI project has the same explanation ready: the model underperformed, the vendor oversold, the technology "wasn't there yet." In Prevail: What Leaders Must Do Now That Machines Can't Manage, Dr. Tim Bottke argues that this story is a convenient way to avoid the real culprit - a chain of management decisions made long before anyone trained a model. The bug isn't in the technology. It's in us. Bottke turns two decades of decision data into a working diagnostic. PREVAIL starts at the ground floor, where leaders reach for the tool before they've named the problem, and moves up through data, experimentation, ownership, measurement, funding, and governance. The uncomfortable finding is that the damage concentrates on the ground floor and compounds as management builds on those decisions.&nbsp; Readers will discover: <ul> <li>Why AI initiatives fail and how to course correct before the budget is committed</li> <li>Chapter checklists that allow for a working audit</li> <li>Action lists for the operator fixing a rollout, the executive shaping a portfolio, and the board member or investor stress-testing a proposal</li> <li>The one question that predicts success better than anything: what problem does this solve?</li> <li>Composite case studies based on public filings that show each failure pattern in the wild, and the fix that would have caught it</li> <li>A shared vocabulary for boards, investors, and operators to pressure-test any AI proposal</li> <li>What the market actually does when companies admit an AI failure&nbsp;</li> </ul> &nbsp; Prevail is written for those who need something firmer than hype to judge what's in front of them.&nbsp;

Whether you need to strengthen an existing program or build one from the ground up, this guide provides the essential tools to mitigate risk, meet regulatory demands, and unlock the productivity gains that come from doing business the right way.

This book gives extraordinary new insights into the legal, political and industrial strife in the UK of the early 1970s, focusing on the National Industrial Relations Court and how its independence came to be injured at a time of national crisis. Constitutional and employment lawyers, and indeed anyone interested in the history of the times, will not want to be without this deeply researched yet entertaining work. When the Heath Government came to power in 1970, it set up the National Industrial Relations Court to referee highly contentious disputes between unions and employers. Regarded with hostility by the labour movement from the start, the Court and its President, Sir John Donaldson, faced mounting suspicion, and were regularly front-page news. When Donaldson jailed five dockers in 1972 - the Pentonville Five - for defying the Court's orders, strikes erupted and the docks closed. With the country's food supplies dwindling, a state of emergency loomed. How had it come to this? Could a way through be found? This is a revelatory account of the National Industrial Relations Court's defining crisis, set in the context of a wider, and frequently startling, exposition of how Donaldson went about his role as its President. Peter Oldham KC combines decades of experience as a barrister with archival research to shine a bright new light on how and why the Court found itself doing - in Donaldson's own words - 'rather peculiar things'.
