Written by Marco Ryan, a seasoned digital and AI leader with extensive experience in both the public and private sectors, this book is tailored specifically for those in leadership positions who need to grasp key AI concepts to stay relevant and effective in their roles.The book is structured alphabetically, making it easy to navigate and find specific terms. Each entry begins with a formal definition followed by a straightforward, jargon-free explanation. This format helps ensure even those with no prior technical background can quickly grasp complex AI concepts. What sets this book apart is the practical application Ryan includes for each term.

Excellent AI Overview of AI terms for leaders
This book does an excellent job of reviewing important AI terms from alphabetically A to Z. Regardless of your AI background, there are probably some terms that you have heard of, but either have no clue about them or your knowledge of a particular term is uncertain. As a leader, you must know the uses of potential innovations first before applying them. This book allows you to do just that. Each and every term is defined and explained, and then an example is provided. Although some examples may be a bit dated, this is to be expected in a field that is advancing as rapidly as AI. The book serves as a great reference and starting point for leaders trying to navigate how their organization can best capitalize on AI’s benefits.

There is a lot to like about this book. There is an obvious commitment to simplicity – each term is explained in jargon-free language and accompanied by a real-life example, making complex ideas accessible and relatable. The alphabetical arrangement of the AI terms also makes it incredibly user-friendly, and allowed me to quickly look up and understand concepts that previously seemed daunting (and mostly unknown too!). I particularly appreciated the focus on practical application for business leaders and executives, as it helped me see how AI knowledge could enhance my professional impact. Overall, this book is a clear, concise, and invaluable resource. It’s truly a must-read for any professional wanting to stay ahead in our AI-driven world.

Up Your Leadership Game
“51 Essential AI Terms Explained for Leaders” by Marco Ryan was an invaluable source of guidance and clarification when I initially felt lost navigating AI jargon. Before I read this book, I found myself nodding in meetings, pretending I understood AI concepts being discussed while hiding my confusion for fear that asking for clarification would undermine my competence. This book helps me tackle complex topics with clarity and contextual examples, equipping me to engage confidently in conversations about AI’s impact, ethics, and regulation. As part of the “Leadership Impact Series,” this book equips leaders with the knowledge needed to responsibly implement AI without compromising ethical standards or societal values. I felt empowered as I turned the pages – not only as part of digital transformation but as a leader capable of steering it responsibly.

As brief as it may seem, it’s actually a concise, no-frills collection of key terms and concepts you need in order to get a grip on AI. It’s not intended to be read like a novel (so no general guide to AI which you can already find in abundance), but to be used as a compendium. Clearly aimed at non-tech people, it’s a great source of information to better understand AI terminology, and to refresh your memory on terms once in a while. I highly recommend it not just for “leaders”, but for anyone interested in or confronted with AI – and given AI’s penetration of each and every part of business and everyday life, it shouldn’t be missing in your (digital) bookshelf.
