"Nitin Seth's POSSIBLE framework is a powerful guide to thriving in the AI era." - Lou Maiuri, Chairman & Group CEO, AssetMark
"A grounded, human-centered approach to navigating AI disruption." - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
If you're wondering how to stay relevant in a world where AI seems to be mastering capabilities once thought to be uniquely human, from cognitive tasks to emotional intelligence, Human Edge in the AI Age is your answer. This is not another book about what AI can do. It's about what you can do to thrive alongside it.
As AI disrupts industries and job roles and the possibility of job displacement looms, it may also herald a new human renaissance---an Era of Entrepreneurs---where individuals take charge of their destinies, innovate fearlessly, and create value grounded in timeless human strengths such as creativity, empathy, and leadership.
To navigate this seismic shift, Nitin Seth introduces the POSSIBLE framework, an original eight-dimensional guide to rediscovering the human edge: Problem-Solving, Openness to Change, Spirituality, Sports, Impact, Balance, Leadership, and Entrepreneurship. By transforming anxiety into action, this framework empowers you to cultivate your inherent strengths and shape a future where your humanity remains firmly in the lead.

Human Edge in the AI Age by Nitin Seth is a thought-provoking exploration of AI's transformative power and its impact on human capabilities. Seth emphasizes the need for humans to adapt, embrace change and rediscover timeless qualities to thrive in the AI-driven era. He reminds us that while AI will replace many jobs, our unique human advantages---such as creativity, emotional intelligence and the ability to connect deeply with others---will be crucial in maintaining our edge in this world. Reading this insightful book made me reflect deeply on the future of my children and grandchildren. It inspired me to think about how I can guide them in understanding and navigating the challenges and opportunities that await them.

In Human Edge in the AI Age, Nitin Seth masterfully navigates the complex and rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, offering practical guidance for professionals and leaders. As a chief technology and information officer at a Fortune 500 company, I find Seth's insights into the intersection of technology and human potential both timely and essential. His eight-dimensional POSSIBLE framework---problem-solving, openness to change, spirituality, sports, impact, balance, leadership, and entrepreneurship---provides an actionable path for individuals and organizations to thrive in an AI-driven world. It is a powerful reminder that while AI is reshaping our world, it is our timeless human qualities that differentiate us and will ultimately define our success. This balance between human strengths and AI capabilities is crucial for making informed, ethical decisions and building resilient teams. This book is thought-provoking for anyone looking to stay ahead in the AI age and harness the unique strengths that make us human.

Nitin Seth has written a book about one of the most important subjects facing humanity and each of us individually. AI will march ahead at a rapid pace. We humans have substantive choices to make about how to adjust and how to work with this new technology. These are both society-wide and individual choices. This book lays out a framework for thinking about and beginning to solve these hugely important issues: What is unique about humanity, what is important to us and how can we protect ourselves and our values? It is still early days, and much of the future remains open-ended, but we need to start the process of engaging with these issues now.

For a man who enjoys cricket, Nitin has delivered a carefully crafted hat-trick. His third book combines his analytical insights with digital and AI experience as a practitioner but adds deeper reflections on what this means for us as humans. With trademark clarity, Nitin has created a valuable framework to understand the capabilities that define the “human quotient”, as we navigate a world where AI seems unstoppable. He delves deep into synthesizing elements of spiritual balance, wisdom and entrepreneurship, alongside the familiar survival skills of problem-solving, teamwork and leadership. This differentiates the book from others and offers an excellent guide to responding positively to the power of AI.
