Abundant Intelligence: How Digital Labor Will Rewrite the Rules of Business (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798892793278)

How the rise of AI agents--and other forms of autonomous intelligence--will transform every aspect of how companies create value and compete.

Companies have long operated with a basic assumption: intelligence is scarce. Talent is limited, expertise is expensive, and good judgment is hard to scale. But that world is ending.

AI agents are bringing a new form of labor into the enterprise--one that can work autonomously, learn continuously, and scale instantly. Their embodied counterparts, from drones to humanoid robots, are doing the same in the physical world. Together, these systems are introducing a new economic reality: cognition is becoming cheap, elastic, and abundant.

In Abundant Intelligence, Deloitte's Nitin Mittal and futurist Mike Walsh show what happens when intelligence becomes cheap and widely available. Drawing on inside access to the people leading AI transformations at the world's most powerful companies, they uncover how this shift is challenging every assumption about strategy, productivity, and leadership, and what organizations must do now to stay ahead.

As abundance becomes the new normal, the leader's job shifts from collecting intelligence to directing it. Those who learn to harness this expanding workforce of digital labor will unlock new levels of speed, creativity, and advantage. For everyone else, the gap will widen fast.
