Editorial Reviews
Review
“The most pressing question we face today ― Is this time different? ― results from the rise of Intelligent Automation. Read this book for a careful but refreshing, grounded but provocative, and cautionary yet hopeful perspective, not just on the future of work, but on the future of humankind.”
Ajay Agrawal
Professor at the University of Toronto
founder of the Creative Destruction Lab, and
author of Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence
“The book presents a compelling case for Intelligent Automation (IA), supported by data and historical examples of change. If you needed convincing about IA, this is absolutely the book to read.”
Sarah Burnett
distinguished analyst, AI & Business Transformation, at Everest Group
“Intelligent Automation is here, it is real, and it is about to change everything. This book is a must-read for all who care about both business and societal impact. It has been written by some of the top digital thought leaders on the planet. Thank you, Pascal Bornet, Jochen Wirtz, and Ian Barkin!”
–Frank Casale Founder of the Institute for Robotic Process Automation and Artificial Intelligence (IRPAAI)
“This book on Intelligent Automation is a must-read today for any organization executive ― for profit or not. It describes in detail the advantages of human-and-robot interaction, emphasizing corporate, personal, and societal benefits. If you have not started to implement automation yet, this book can help be a catalyst for action. If you have already started your journey, effectively scaling automation programs will be the critical difference in winning in the Automation First era.”
Daniel Dines
Co-Founder and CEO at UiPath
“AI may be the buzzword today, but how will we use this new technology to build, reshape and direct our society, businesses and organizations? In ‘Intelligent Automation’ an answer is given. The book makes a compelling argument that we need to be smart about using AI and in doing so we need to understand the key role that humans will play more than ever. A great and thought-provoking read!”
Professor David De Cremer
Provost Chair in Management and Director of the Centre on AI Technology for Humankind at NUS Business School, National University of Singapore, and
author of Leadership by Algorithm: Who Leads and Who Follows in the AI Era?
“Pascal Bornet, Ian Barkin and Jochen Wirtz’s new book easily tops my favorites this year. While we’ve all read the headlines, IA still seems a mystery in terms of its impact on our job, business, enterprise, and world. What I particularly liked is that they don’t just repeat the reassuring waffle of ‘new jobs emerging to replace old jobs that are now automated.’ Instead, they embrace the truth: Work, as we know it, will probably disappear. And yet, this book asks the questions that really count: What is our purpose in life? Is it work? Might not an automation-centric future enable us to get back to our real true purpose ― to be more human? Could the end of work lead to a golden age of well-being? I’ll be buying the first copies for my children so that they understand the future they are helping to shape.”

“A powerful assessment of the promises and practicalities, Intelligent Automation is a timely guide replete with examples and advice culminating in a detailed, sane mapping of where all this could lead.”
Leslie Willcocks
Professor at London School of Economics,
co-author of Robotic and Cognitive Automation: The Next Phase
“Especially helpful are the middle sections, which explain the various technologies on the market, and offer a roadmap for IA transformations. Here, you will learn what these technologies can accomplish ― on their own, and combined. The book also recommends leading solution providers on the market, potentially saving you time in vendor selections. Case studies are interspersed throughout, of success stories in industries like banking and retail … This is a roll-up-your-sleeves primer that anyone can understand. It is broad enough to apply across most Industries and types of organisations, yet specific enough to be of practical use.”
