Sandy Carter, a leading AI innovator and one of Microsoft MSN’s Top 10 AI Entrepreneurs of the Year, has launched her new book, AI First, Human Always. Published by Wiley and available in Kindle, audiobook, and hardcover formats, this groundbreaking book is the first to feature an AI Agent designed to learn and evolve, providing readers with real-time insights on AI leadership, industry applications, and business strategies.
More than just a book, AI First, Human Always offers an interactive experience. The AI Agent—trained on Carter’s latest articles, research, keynotes, and posts—answers key questions such as why she wrote the book, the best strategies for AI-driven leadership, and practical tips for industries like financial services, marketing, and small businesses. Readers can also engage with the AI Agent on social media, where it shares a daily tip on the future of AI.
“AI First isn’t about new tools, it’s about a new mindset. Carter shows how AI rewires business DNA, making creation smarter and customer-centric. Skip this book at your peril,” said Guy Kawasaki, Chief Evangelist of Canva and Former Chief Evangelist of Apple.
Carter, a former AI executive at IBM and AWS, emphasizes the need for responsible AI adoption. “AI is transforming every industry, but leaders must embrace it with both strategy and humanity. AI First, Human Always is a roadmap for integrating AI while keeping human values at the core,” said Sandy Carter.
