Human-Centric AI - Published Books

Explore my published books designed to provide valuable insights into the future of technology and its ethical implications. These are about topics I feel passionate about and are about challenging current concepts, asking interesting questions (the What if..?), giving pause for thought on potential consequences, and where appropriate action plans (How To...).

I wrote these not as definitive publications, but out of a growing perspective of the need to give some clarity and a different voice to some key topics transforming our world today. This approach, hopefully, allows for a more nuanced understanding and encourages discussions that foster innovation and change. Our biggest opportunity is within ourselves and it's about how we retain Humanity through technology.

The core of each book is anchored in my 30+ years of experience working as a senior technology and business strategies across multiple different business sectors. My work explores the balance between embracing innovation and maintaining human-centric values.

These books form the theoretical foundation for my work as The Ethical CTO.

Here are the future publications I'm working on

TBC-The Human Nexus

The future of humanity is merging with technology. The Human Nexus is the essential guide for leaders navigating this Bio-Digital Convergence. It challenges you to look beyond code, blending systems thinking and moral foresight to build resilient organisations. Discover how to harness technology with intention to drive a more sustainable and equitable future. Looking at how the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Society 5.0 thinking can help us tackle the challenges of our time.

TBC-The Mirror Machine

In an era of unprecedented digital power, technology is not just a tool—it is a Mirror Machine, reflecting the best and worst of our collective humanity. This book is a critical exploration of the duality of innovation: how the same advancements that connect, heal, and empower can also be weaponised for disinformation and harm. It offers leaders and citizens a framework for responsible, ethical innovation, arguing that the future will be defined not by code, but by the moral foresight we choose to build into our systems. The crucial question: Will we ensure our creations serve humanity, or replace it?.
