What does it mean to be human in the age of AI?
Being human in an age of AI means embracing the qualities machines can never truly possess—our creativity, our intentionality, our clarity, and our care.
AI and the Art of Being Human shows how these four values guide us to transform AI from a source of disruption into a partner in becoming more fully ourselves.
“What makes me irreplaceable when AI can replicate what I do?”
The AI revolution isn't about whether machines will replace us—it's about who thrives when they can replicate almost everything we do. This book provides what's been missing: frameworks for transforming our most human qualities into our greatest advantage.

Bring the Book to Your Classroom, Workshop, or Training
Whether you're teaching a university course, facilitating a corporate workshop, or leading professional development, we've created resources to help you build learning experiences around AI and the Art of Being Human.
An AI Partner for Building Learning Experiences
An Educator's Guide
If you're using AI and the Art of Being Human to teach, train, or facilitate learning, we want to make this as easy as possible for you.
And so we've created something a little different: an AI-readable version of the complete book, designed to let you collaborate with AI platforms to develop materials tailored to your learners, your context, and your goals.
Upload it to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or your AI platform of choice. Then tell it what you're building—a university course, a corporate workshop, a professional development session, an executive seminar, a high school unit, or something we haven’t even thought of.
Iterate. Experiment. Let the AI handle the book's details while you shape the learning experience.
It's not a template or a pre-packaged curriculum. Rather, it's a way to collaborate with AI in creative and transformative ways — ways that enables you to generate resources based on the book that directly meet your needs, and your participants.
"Not just a vision of a future of people and technology working together, but a roadmap to get there."

Tools You Can Use in the Classroom
The book includes 21 practical tools for navigating AI with intention. Many of these work especially well in teaching and facilitation settings—whether you're sparking discussion, running group exercises, or helping participants develop personal practices.
Here are a few to explore:
We've had excellent results with Anthropic's Claude (especially Projects), Google's Gemini and NotebookLM, DeepSeek, and Manus. Results with ChatGPT have been more variable.
Course syllabi, workshop agendas, discussion questions, assignments, training exercises, facilitation guides, executive briefings—or something we haven't imagined. The resource is designed for experimentation.
No. If you can have a conversation, you can use this. Start by telling the AI what you want to build, then iterate.
