What if AI wasn't just a tool-but the foundation of every decision, process, and product in your world? In Wired for Change: AI, Data, and the Future of Everything, Cory Smith-innovation leader and digital transformation strategist-offers an urgent and inspiring guide to navigating the biggest shift of our time: the rise of AI-native systems and intelligent enterprises. This book cuts through the hype and breaks down: Why AI is more evolution than revolution-and how it mirrors past tech patterns How the marketing of AI has blurred real progress with rebranded old ideas Why small, purpose-built models will drive the next wave-not massive monoliths How orchestration layers, not standalone models, will become the real differentiators What it means to build, govern, and lead an AI-native organization Where the future is headed-from edge AI and personalized experiences to intelligent UIs and model marketplaces With expert commentary, strategic blueprints, case studies from Tesla, Amazon, Moderna, Spotify, and Walmart-and a vision for what's next-this book is a field guide for technologists, leaders, builders, and curious minds shaping the future.
