Choosing and using AI Books responsibly

01

Who this is for

Leaders, professionals, students and general readers seeking deeper understanding of AI, governance, ethics, technology and social impact.

02

What to consider

Consider the publication date, author's expertise, intended audience, evidence base and whether later developments have affected the book's conclusions.

03

Responsible-use considerations

Use a range of current and diverse sources. A single book should not be treated as definitive legal, technical or organisational guidance.
