The rapidly evolving AI landscape meets practical strategy in Tim Kilpatrick’s latest release, “Strategy and AI: A Guide for Living During the Third Remake of Humankind.” Heralded as “informative and optimistic” by Foreword Reviews, this accessible and story-driven guide provides leaders and individuals with the tools they need to make sense of AI without drowning in hype.
Kilpatrick, a healthcare strategist and computer engineer with over 40 years of experience in digital transformation, distills the big questions surrounding AI’s role in business and society into actionable insights. “Strategy and AI” offers a fresh perspective on how artificial intelligence intersects with strategic thinking, human cognition, and our most urgent societal challenges, such as healthcare, climate change, and education. Kilpatrick doesn’t just explain the technology—he maps out frameworks that help leaders make grounded decisions in an era where mistakes can cost capital, careers, and lives.
The book’s highlights include:
• Decades of Context – Kilpatrick traces AI’s development over 70 years, framing it in relation to human cognition and strategic functions like imagining, predicting, and deciding.
• Sixteen AI Frameworks for Leaders – Designed for non-engineers, these frameworks cut through the jargon to guide strategic decision-making and reveal where AI excels—and where it doesn’t.
• Societal Focus – Kilpatrick argues that the greatest risk is not AI itself but the failure to apply its potential to critical problems we already face. Through this lens, the book becomes a call to action for leaders to address systemic challenges with AI-informed solutions.
“Curious readers who want to understand where AI fits into the longer arc of human progress will appreciate the depth Kilpatrick brings,” praises Indies Today. Similarly, BlueInk Review applauds the book’s “unbiased presentation” and notes it as an essential guide amid polarized AI debates. Kilpatrick’s plainspoken style ensures that anyone, from nonprofit leaders to corporate managers, can easily grasp his insights without being overwhelmed by technical terminology.
Tim Kilpatrick shares, “AI is too often framed as either salvation or disaster. I wrote this book to give decision-makers clear, practical tools to cut through the noise and focus on how AI can drive real-world problem-solving.”
