We’re living in extraordinary times where Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant concept. It's here and it’s shaping everything from how we work and communicate to how we think about the future. But for many of us, AI still feels like a black box:

Confusing. Intimidating. Maybe even a little threatening.

That’s exactly why I wrote AI & I. To turn uncertainty into understanding and fear into informed confidence. Whether you're totally new to the world of AI or you've got a bit of experience but want a broader, human-centered perspective, this book was written with you in mind.

This isn’t a technical manual. It’s a conversation. One that meets you where you are, and helps you make sense of a fast-moving world.

A Human-Centered Approach to AI

AI & I isn’t just for beginners. Even if you work in tech, you’ll find fresh insights here, especially around the human side of innovation, ethics, trust, and change. Lara brings a uniquely personal lens that challenges you to think differently about the impact of AI, not just its mechanics.
