Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "I no longer understand where the world is going." A chairman of one of Europe's largest industrial groups said these seven words behind closed doors in April 2024 and then added: "I suspect nobody understands it." Artificial intelligence is not one revolution. It is three. The United States is building the Frontier. The state points the direction. Private capital executes, scales, and owns, much as it did with the transcontinental railroad in 1869. China is walking its Long March. Patient, state driven, and running its own race on its own clock. Europe is writing its Limes. Not a wall, but a governed threshold built on rules, standards, and the search for a distinctive path between two giants. Meanwhile, most companies suffer from what this book calls AI bulimia: dozens of AI initiatives, multiple steering committees, and no one able to explain what is actually being transformed. Beyond the Pillars of Hercules is neither a technical manual, nor futurology, nor another AI adoption framework. It is a lens for understanding the choice every board now faces: which technological civilization to depend on, under which contractual conditions, and at what strategic cost. Drawing on classical navigation stories, from Ulysses between Scylla and Charybdis to Marcus Aurelius on the Roman frontier and the return to Ithaca, and combining them with evidence from the McKinsey State of AI, the Stanford AI Index, and the EU AI Act, Michele Balbi provides a practical course for leaders. Inside the book: - A clear map of the three AI civilizations and what each requires from those who enter its waters- A one page Manifesto that presents the strategic principles from which everything else follows- A practical guide to people, processes, data, security, risk, and ethics, the areas where transformation most often fails- The Leader's Course, an executable action plan with clear ownership and measurable milestones for the Monday morning after finishing the book- An annotated glossary written for the boardroom rather than the laboratory Written by an entrepreneur who founded, scaled, and sold a technology company and later advised some of Europe's largest organizations as an EY Equity Partner, this book is for CEOs, board members, and executives who must make decisions not someday, but now.
