The Future of Intelligent Automation 2nd Edition
The Future of Intelligent Automation: A Practical Playbook for the Age of Generative & Agentic AI (The Future of Intelligent Automation Series 2)
The AI Automation Story Has Changed. This Book Catches You Up.
When I wrote the first edition of this guide, automation was a straightforward concept. Software robots handled repetitive tasks. Robotic process automation was the headline act. The future looked like more of the same, just faster.
Then generative AI arrived and changed everything.
ChatGPT's late 2022 launch didn't just add a new tool to the stack. It redefined what automation could do. Suddenly, AI systems weren't just clicking buttons and moving data. They were reasoning, writing, making decisions, and working toward goals. By 2025, agentic AI systems capable of planning, collaborating, and coordinating complex workflows are no longer experimental. They're operational.
The first edition belongs to a different era. This second edition reflects where we actually are.
Who This Book Is For
This guide was written for anyone trying to navigate the new automation landscape without getting lost in technical jargon.
That includes students figuring out which skills will matter, professionals already using AI tools daily, educators building future-ready curricula, founders and operators designing intelligent workflows, and policymakers balancing innovation with responsibility.
No technical background required. Just a willingness to engage seriously with ideas that are reshaping how work gets done.
What You Get
This book works on two levels. As a practical playbook, it gives you frameworks, checklists, and decision tools you can apply immediately, whether you're evaluating your first automation initiative or overhauling an entire operation. The Playbook Boxes in each chapter are built to be used, not just read.
As a teaching resource, each chapter ends with discussion prompts and activities designed for classrooms, team workshops, and leadership conversations.
The goal is simple: leave you equipped, not just informed.
The future of intelligent automation is full of possibility. But only if we build it thoughtfully, with people at the center.
