Updated for a post-Covid world, the second edition of this groundbreaking book explains why becoming a Humachine enterprise is the only way forward for a company to maintain a competitive advantage in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).The first edition of The Humachine offered a foundation for a new form of enterprise, integrating AI technology and human resources to optimize the unique advantages possessed by each. Now, in the face of the ‘Great Resignation’ and ‘botsourcing’—where an activity previously done by humans is replaced by technology—thought leaders Sanders and Wood present a more positive and promising scenario, where an enterprise recognizes human resources as an asset class that possesses skills that cannot be replaced by automation.

This book provides a roadmap for how to do this and achieve collective intelligence at the enterprise level: superintelligence.
