The Translator's Advantage

How Leaders Turn AI Capabilities Into Outcomes That Serve Humanity

HARVEY R. KOEPPEL

AI is already here. The gap between what it can do and the wisdom required to govern it is growing every day. This book is for everyone who intends to help close it: in business, in classrooms, in government, and at home.

The Premise

The most valuable person in any organization navigating AI is the Translator: the person who can stand between technical possibility and human consequence and help both sides understand what they are actually dealing with.
