Managers direct reports. Leaders inspire followers. Role models engineer identity and magnify the future. Role Modelship is the governance layer for the AI enterprise. The secret to exceptional impact isn’t talent. It’s the power of role modelship. Your competitive edge depends on learning from the best. As we integrate AI into our lives, it’s more vital than ever to model the best of who we are. AI learns from us. It mirrors our data, habits, and humanity. Role Modelship offers the human grounding and guardrails AI lacks.

Most of us spend a significant part of the day in front of a screen. Our work and social lives play out through our computers, tablets and phones: on email, social media, video conference calls and gaming servers. But what is all this screen time doing to our health, our sleep, and our relationships? Professor Pete Etchells studies the way we use screens, and how they can affect us. In UNLOCKED, he delves into the real science behind the panic about our alleged device addiction and withering attention spans.

But hidden beneath this smooth surface lies the grim reality of a precarious global workforce of millions that labour under often appalling conditions to make AI possible.

Timepieces are one of humanity's most ingenious innovations. Their invention was more significant for human culture than the printing press, or even the wheel. They have travelled the world with us, from the depths of the oceans to the summit of Everest, and even to the Moon. They regulate our daily lives and have sculpted the social and economic development of society in surprising and dramatic ways.
