No Adult Left Behind: AI is Learning. Are You? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991012843)

If you have been watching the AI conversation from a distance, wondering whether the window to get on board is closing, this book was written for you.

George Pillari spent his career in crisis management, when AI arrived, he started using it the way most working adults would: to fix a problem in front of him. A stereo receiver he could not figure out, a confusing prescription label, or a resume he was about to review.

What he learned along the way became this book.

Productivity

• Search, chatbot, and agent. Which tool to grab for which job, and why the wrong choice wastes your day.
• The 30-second photo trick that prevents most service calls and let'd you ditch the user manual.

Careers

• Resumes that get past the screening bots. Interview prep beyond the standard playbook. A
• The skill AI cannot replicate, even now.
• A college degree, a bootcamp, or neither? What to tell yourself and your kids.

Industries

• Titanic, Challenger, Chernobyl, and Hurricane Katrina. Disaster that had warnings AI would have connected.
• How a self-driving car decides who to hit when it cannot avoid hitting someone.
• Why an AI that has seen 30 million knee x-rays might be better than your doctor.

Pillari writes like a friend who has done the homework and wants to save you a few months. The tone is honest, skeptical where it should be, and always practical. Plain language throughout, no code.

If you have been waiting to embrace AI, this is the book that gets you started.
