The Edge : Your Brain on AI

The Edge: Your Brain on AI is your roadmap to taking your ideas from your head to execution. In an era where all the knowledge online is available for $20 a month or the price of a dozen avocados, your edge is your ability to execute. AI makes it possible differently.

Best selling first time author Betsy Q Tong, who is a human-centric technologist, provides humorous and real life examples to show you how to take a systemic approach to enabling what matters to you using AI. The book breaks down misconceptions, addresses barriers to adoption, and offers practical strategies to make AI relate to you, not as a tool but as a co-intelligence.

As proof, she set herself a challenge to write this book in 72 hours. The issue was not getting AI to spit chapters like a Korean rapper. She reconsidered the creative process and barriers that held her back from getting her ideas into a book in the past to create AI enabling functions like a factory. She even created an interactive reader experience - adding links to Guided AI Bot Journals at the end of each chapter for readers to discuss the content and ask questions.

Through relatable examples, engaging exercises, and actionable insights, Betsy shows how to:

Demystify AI and overcome common myths and fears.
Understand AI as collected wisdom and use it to advantage.
Develop daily habits to make AI useful and impactful.
Thin slice your unique capabilities to stand out in a crowded digital landscape.
Enhance your cognitive abilities and sustain intellectual curiosity with AI.
Avoid mental laziness and ensure accountability and originality in your work.
The Edge: Your Brain on AI is for you. Whether you're looking to build a new business, transition into a new career, or simply manage your life more effectively, this book provides the mindset and approach to thrive in the AI era.
