Ive had the privilege of benefiting immeasurably from Edosas first two books, and I can confidently say this is his finest work yet. The Values of AI strikes at the heart of the AI revolutionposing some of the most pressing questions of our time. Edosa first compels us to examine what we sacrifice when we adopt technology that doesnt just automate our work but actually automates values as well. Then, like a skilled mentor, he leads us through this terrain of opportunities versus risks, consistently demonstrating that organisational value and proper ethical consideration need not be at oddsas we too often assume. Finally, he delivers a comprehensive toolkit ensuring that both thinkers and practitioners across all fields continue to extract lasting benefit from this rich and defining work.Ali Khan, Chief Data Officer at Finastra, Member CxO Council at Clear Ventures and Global Strategic Advisor
Edosa Odaro has once again, in this latest title, demonstrated his deep mastery of the technological pain points that organisations faceand how they can overcome them. By dissecting how companies can move beyond mere competitive parity in the current rush to adopt AI systems, and showing how they can create and sustain genuine, comprehensive value, he offers senior business leaders a practical lifeline. The understandings often effortlessly advanced in this text are particularly vital for those grappling with the challenge of justifying significant AI investments to an increasingly wary and sceptical set of stakeholders. Among the many vexing questions the book addresses is how corporate leaders can transform substantial yet often poorly understood AI investments into sustained, business-wide growth, with demonstrable value replication. As Odaro points out, the real successes and opportunities in AI adoption emerge not merely from their technological advancements, but from the strategic, company-wide integration of models and frameworks that can enable the grander visions the technologies promise. As every business leader who reads this work will attest, Odaro delivers not only a much-needed roadmap but also a highly replicable blueprint for unlocking value across diverse business scenarios and settings. This book is a must-read, both for the pressing issues it tackles and for its highly digestible frameworks and real-world examples.Bob Enofe, Legal Director and Corporate Compliance, Trade and Public Policy Advisor
