Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Alan Eagle, who worked closely with Campbell at Google, witnessed how he cultivated trust, encouraged personal growth, inspired courage, and addressed tensions in dynamic environments. To honor his memory and guide future leaders, they have distilled his wisdom into this essential guide. Drawing from interviews with over eighty individuals who knew Campbell, the book outlines his principles and illustrates them with stories from the many people and companies he impacted. The result is a valuable blueprint for business leaders seeking to develop high-performing, agile cultures and teams.

"An A.I. that learned to play chess discovered moves that no human champion would have conceived of. Driverless cars edge forward at red lights, just like impatient humans, and so far, nobody can explain why it happens.

In this book, three of our most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore how A.I. could affect our relationship with knowledge, impact our world views, and change society and politics as profoundly as the ideas of the Enlightenment"--Publisher's description
THE FOLLOW UP TO THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THE AGE OF AI In his final book, the late Henry Kissinger joins forces with two leading technologists to mount a profound exploration of the epochal challenges and opportunities presented by the revolution in Artificial Intelligence. As it absorbs data, gains agency, and intermediates between humans and reality, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality. It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale and of an intensity that we have never seen - usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution. The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Genesis charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI.
