“The Augmented Workforce: How Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, and 5G Will Impact Every Dollar You Make”
WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, May 25, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Cathy Hackl and John Buzzell, launch their new book The Augmented Workforce: How Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, and 5G Will Impact Every Dollar You Make, available worldwide starting today. The foreword is written by Brian Solis.
The Augmented Workforce is a thought-provoking and engaging look into how AI, AR, and 5G is already reshaping and redefining the global workplace. Together Hackl and Buzzell have over fifty years’ experience in emerging tech, and they are leaders in their respective fields.
“Organizations and brands will need to prepare for the metaverse. The Augmented Workforce can be their primer. In the metaverse, brands will need to rethink their narrative and understand how AR, AI, 5G, IoT, Blockchain, and cloud computing are converging, this is the first step,” highlighted tech futurist, Cathy Hackl. “In the age of the augmented workforce, leaders will not only need emotional intelligence to lead, they will also need future intelligence to succeed.”
Together, Hackl and Buzzell dissect the incoming tsunami of technology that’s changing work and play around the globe. The Augmented Workforce surveys a number of industries, including entertainment, education, healthcare, finance, defense, marketing, real estate, agriculture and more. “Exponential technologies like AR, AI, and 5G are impacting every industry,” says John Buzzell, “and when taken together they form a next-generation computer that we’ll use for decades to come.”
The Augmented Workforce may be about technology, but it’s written for business leaders, decision-makers, communicators, entrepreneurs and non-technical people. Hackl’s and Buzzell’s plain-spoken insights hit home as the world changes quickly post-pandemic. It’s a satisfying read for tech professionals and those just curious about where all these technologies are going. The book was edited by Leslie Snyder and features cover art by Lorenzo Milito.
“The Augmented Workforce: How Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, and 5G Will Impact Every Dollar You Make,” is available in paperback and ebook on Amazon. Readers can find more information on http://www.theaugmentedworkforce.com/
