Beyond the Hype A Leader’s Pragmatic Guide to Navigating AI Adoption In my two decades of leading digital transformation at Fortune 500 companies, I’ve never seen a technology wave generate both more excitement and more confusion than artificial intelligence. Every day, I meet brilliant leaders who know AI is important but struggle with one fundamental question: Where do we even begin? This guide answers that question with something rare in today’s AI discourse: practical clarity. Sanjay Gupta doesn’t just explain AI—he demystifies it. He separates transformative potential from temporary hype, addressing the frameworks leaders actual needs to make intelligent decisions.
