AI isn't your rival. It's your next ally.
The Alliance Principle shows leaders, operators, and curious professionals how to pair human judgment with machine capability to get real results - safely. Cristiano De Mei cuts through buzzwords to explain, in plain language, what today's AI can (and can't) do, how large language models work, and why emotions, ethics, and diverse intelligences still belong at the center of every decision.
From a brisk tour of the field to hands-on guidance you can use on Monday, this book gives you the essentials: spotting and reducing bias, building transparency into workflows, avoiding «AI-washing» and defending your organization against deepfakes. You'll also get a practical lens on regulation (including the EU AI Act), simple checklists for governance and monitoring, and interviews with practitioners who are already delivering value with human-in-the-loop systems.
Whether you run a team, manage risk, or simply want to work smarter, The Alliance Principle reframes AI from threat to teammate - and equips you to design intelligent alliances that are ethical, resilient, and effective. Move beyond hype and fear. Build the partnerships that matter.
