Over the past twenty years, Ashley Recanati has lived and worked in the three powerhouses that are Europe, the U.S. and China, rising from odd jobs to general management through financial control, thanks in part to the continuous learning and implementation of automation tools. Meanwhile he developed a keen awareness of the contrast between the latest evolving technologies and actual working habitats in offices, factories, and retail. Despite the broad consensus among experts on the dire effects that new tech will have on employees, a blatant gap persists in terms of advice as to how they can prepare for the disruption. AI Battle Royale is the fruit of research conducted over five years to remedy this gap.
