"What sets this book apart is its holistic, philosophical approach. Instead of focusing on AI as a purely technological advancement, Dr. Tavakolifard delves into the cultural, ethical, and societal dimensions of AI, exploring the necessary changes in management and mindset that organizations need to adopt. This broader exploration resonates with many of the conversations we are currently having at the Global AI Ethics Institute. The author moves beyond the usual discussions of AI's technicality, inviting readers to consider how AI can catalyze a deeper transformation that integrates human values and organizational growth."

"When individuals and organizations are looking to advance and be a part of the AI evolution, the human should be included in the equation.  I love books and one that hits the mark on the human element of AI is Dr. Mozhgan Tavakolifard's new book 'The AI Awakening: A New Era of Data, Discovery, and Growth'. In Dr. Tavakolifard's book she starts off with something that I hope becomes an element individuals and organizations who want to be a part of the AI era, if it isn't there already: awakening to transformation and cultivating a growth mindset for data-led transformation.  Both of these are needed.  It isn't just knowing something is there but awakening to it; what a good word, awakening.  Then, having a growth mindset to move forward and be awake to AI and the future.  As you progress through her book, you get to a chapter on 'Building a Climbing Team'.  What a wonderful analogy for this fan of mountains.  AI is a climb with hurdles, rocks, and possibly even stumbles along the way.  Don't go this journey alone.  Utilize Dr. Tavakolifard's book to help you in your journey.  Find the key insights and pieces that help you climb the mountain of AI, but don't just climb, let the insights and pieces become a part of your organization's culture, who you are.  But here is the catch: once you reach the summit, know your journey is not done.  From a mountain peak you may see miles away, you may see other mountains to climb.  Stay awake in this age of AI.  Join the journey."

"Da har jeg akkurat lest ferdig «The AI awakening» av Mozhgan Tavakolifard. Den er akkurat så bra som jeg forventet – og enda en god del bedre. Det er fin-fine beskrivelser av hvordan man håndterer og samler inn data, men best av alt er det filosofiske perspektivet på temaet. Hva betyr all denne datamengden for oss mennesker og hvordan kan vi bruke det til det beste? Nydelige illustrasjoner også!""

  • What message would you give to readers who are new to AI and feel intimidated by the technology?
    "My message to anyone feeling intimidated by AI is that you don’t need to be a technical expert to start understanding and leveraging it. AI is evolving rapidly, but at its core, it’s about using data to make better decisions and drive growth. What matters most is approaching it with curiosity and a willingness to learn. In The AI Awakening, I break down the concepts of AI in a way that’s accessible to everyone, no matter your background. It’s not about mastering every technical detail; it’s about seeing the potential for AI to transform your business or personal growth in meaningful ways. AI is here to enhance, not replace, the human element, and it’s something that can empower you once you begin to explore it."
  • How does this book reflect your personal and professional journey?
    "This book is a culmination of both my personal and professional experiences. From my academic research on human trust in the digital world to advising Fortune 500 companies on AI strategies, I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of technology and humanity. At the same time, my personal journey—exploring human consciousness and the parallels between personal growth and business transformation—shaped my belief that businesses, like humans, are living ecosystems. Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how technology can either empower or limit us, depending on how we approach it. The AI Awakening reflects my passion for using AI not just as a technical tool, but as a means to create more human-centered, sustainable growth. It’s deeply rooted in my belief that transformation, whether personal or organizational, must start with a focus on values and consciousness."
  • What’s next for you after the release of this book?
    "After releasing The AI Awakening, my focus is on expanding the impact of the ideas in the book. I plan to host workshops, boot camps, and retreats through AI Alchemy Hub to help business leaders and organizations apply the concepts of conscious AI and human-centered transformation. I’m also continuing my work with startups, focusing on merging intelligence and sustainability to drive positive change in both business and society. Additionally, I’m exploring new projects around ethical AI governance and responsible technology development, aiming to contribute to shaping AI’s future in a way that benefits humanity. My goal is to create a ripple effect, where these ideas inspire real change across industries."
  • What role do you see AI playing in the future of leadership?
    "AI will play an increasingly central role in the future of leadership by enhancing decision-making, streamlining operations, and providing leaders with deeper insights into their businesses. But more importantly, AI has the potential to free leaders from the day-to-day tactical concerns, allowing them to focus more on strategy, innovation, and human connection. In The AI Awakening, I emphasize that the most successful leaders of the future will be those who use AI not just as a tool for efficiency but as a means to elevate their teams, foster creativity, and drive ethical decisions. Leadership in the age of AI will require balancing technology with empathy, ensuring that human values are at the forefront of every decision."
  • How can this book help business leaders who are not experts in AI?
    "This book is designed to be accessible to all business leaders, regardless of their technical background. While AI can often feel complex and overwhelming, I break down the concepts in a way that is easy to understand and, more importantly, easy to apply. My goal is to help leaders grasp the fundamental principles of AI and how it can drive growth in their organizations without needing to be an expert. The AI Awakening offers a strategic framework that focuses on the big picture—how to align AI with human values, leadership, and business goals. It provides practical insights and examples that any leader can implement to foster innovation and transformation, whether they’re just starting with AI or looking to take their strategy to the next level."
  • How do you see the future of AI impacting businesses and society?
    "I believe the future of AI holds immense potential to drive not only business innovation but also meaningful societal change. As AI continues to evolve, it will become an even more powerful tool for solving complex problems, enhancing decision-making, and unlocking new opportunities for growth. But the real impact of AI will depend on how we choose to use it. In The AI Awakening, I emphasize the need for a human-centered approach, where AI is developed and deployed with ethical principles, sustainability, and long-term vision in mind. If businesses focus on aligning AI with human values and consciousness, AI has the power to not only transform industries but also help create a more equitable, responsible, and prosperous society. The future of AI is exciting, but we must be intentional in shaping it for the greater good."
  • What advice would you give to leaders who are hesitant to adopt AI?
    "My advice to leaders who are hesitant about AI is to start by shifting the focus from fear of the unknown to seeing the opportunities. AI isn’t just about technology—it’s about enhancing what you already do and helping your organization grow in ways you might not have imagined. You don’t need to be an expert in AI to begin; what’s more important is having a clear vision of how AI can align with your business goals and human values. In The AI Awakening, I provide a roadmap for leaders to start small, experiment, and gradually integrate AI into their operations in a way that feels manageable and aligned with their culture. The key is to approach AI not as a replacement for human creativity and decision-making, but as a powerful tool to amplify it. The sooner you embrace AI, the more prepared you’ll be to navigate the future with confidence."
  • Why did I write this book?
    "When I first set out to write The AI Awakening, I had no idea how much of a journey it would be. What started as a simple idea took nearly two years to bring to life—over a year just to write, all while launching AI Alchemy Hub and building another startup focused on merging intelligence and sustainability. Honestly, had I known how much work it would be, I might not have started! But looking back, I’m so glad I did, because this book became something far more meaningful than I ever expected. As a data scientist and entrepreneur, I’ve spent my career working at the forefront of AI and advising companies around the world. Yet, I kept encountering the same dilemma: despite all the advancements in technology, so many organizations struggle to see real transformation. We have the data, the tools, and the knowledge, but something was missing. That’s when I started looking beyond the technical—towards the human element. At the same time, I was on my journey, exploring human transformation and consciousness. I started to see parallels between human growth and business growth—both are living ecosystems that evolve, adapt and sometimes struggle. This realization inspired me to write a book that brings together two worlds: AI and data-driven transformation, with human values and consciousness at the center. The AI Awakening offers a new approach to transformation, one where AI isn’t just about efficiency, but about creating meaningful, lasting impact—both for businesses and for the people behind them. I hope that this book empowers conscious business leaders—whether they’re startup founders or executives—to harness AI in a way that not only drives success but makes a positive impact on the world. And if this book reaches just one person who finds that connection, I’ll have achieved what I set out to do."
  • What inspired the structure and style of the book?
    "The structure of The AI Awakening was inspired by my desire to make complex ideas accessible and actionable. I divided the book into two main parts: the first part focuses on the foundations of transformation—both personal and organizational—while the second part dives into practical, real-world applications using a framework I developed. This approach allows readers to not only understand the concepts but to see how they can be applied directly in their businesses. I wanted the style to feel like a conversation, blending technical insights with personal stories and analogies from my own life, such as my passion for mountain climbing. This helps to make the lessons relatable and easier to grasp, even for readers who may not be deeply familiar with AI. The goal was to create a balance between inspiration and practical guidance."
  • What impact do you hope The AI Awakening will have on the conversation around AI and ethics?
    "My hope is that The AI Awakening will elevate the conversation around AI and ethics by showing that ethical considerations are not just an afterthought but central to the successful implementation of AI. I want to inspire leaders to approach AI with a human-centered mindset, where ethical decision-making is integrated into every stage of development and deployment. By aligning AI strategies with human values, we can avoid many of the pitfalls associated with AI, such as bias, privacy concerns, and unequal access to technology. I believe that if more organizations adopt a conscious approach to AI, we can create a future where technology serves the greater good while fostering trust and transparency in the process."
  • How does AI tie into personal growth, and why is that important?
    "AI and personal growth may seem like two separate worlds, but they are deeply connected. Just as AI can transform businesses, it also has the potential to elevate human potential. In The AI Awakening, I explore how AI, when used consciously, can help individuals and organizations grow in a more meaningful way. By understanding the parallels between human transformation and organizational change, leaders can approach AI not just as a tool for business efficiency but as a way to inspire personal growth—helping teams become more innovative, resilient, and aligned with their values. This connection is important because the true power of AI lies not in its technical capabilities, but in how it can empower people to lead with purpose and navigate an ever-evolving world."
  • How can readers apply the insights from this book to their own organizations?
    "Readers can start by adopting a mindset that places human values and ethics at the core of their AI strategies. Whether you're leading a startup, scale-up, or a larger organization, the key is to begin viewing your business as a living ecosystem—one where AI is not just a tool for efficiency, but a force for transformation. In The AI Awakening, I provide practical frameworks and examples to help readers apply these insights, from building teams that balance human creativity with AI, to developing ethical AI governance models. Start by identifying areas where AI can add value—not just in terms of profit, but also in terms of purpose and impact. By aligning your organization’s AI initiatives with a broader, human-centered vision, you can foster innovation that leads to sustainable, long-term success."
  • Who am I?
    "Hi, I’m Dr. Mozhgan Tavakolifard. My work has always focused on merging technology with human values, exploring how AI and data can enhance both human and business growth. I started my journey researching human trust in the digital world—a deeply human concept in a field dominated by technology. Over the years, I’ve advised Fortune 500 companies on AI strategies and delivered a TEDx talk, 'Your Data is Your Currency,' to highlight the critical role personal data plays in today’s economy. I’ve also founded ventures that explore how technology can empower individuals and organizations alike. My goal has always been clear: to harness AI not just for innovation, but for meaningful, sustainable growth—both personally and professionally."
  • What is this book about?
    "The AI Awakening is about transforming the way we think about AI, data, and business. It’s not just a technical guide—it’s a call to action for business leaders to rethink how they use AI, by placing human values at the heart of their strategies. The book explores how businesses can truly unlock the power of data and AI to drive exponential growth, but more importantly, how they can do so in ways that benefit both their organizations and the people within them. Through a combination of real-world examples, case studies, and a framework I’ve developed, I show how aligning AI strategies with human values leads to more sustainable, impactful transformation. Whether you’re a business leader looking to leverage AI or someone curious about the intersection of technology and human potential, this book will give you the tools to navigate the challenges of the digital age with a holistic, human-centered approach."
  • What are the biggest challenges organizations face when trying to leverage AI, and how does your book address them?
    "One of the biggest challenges organizations face is turning AI investments into real, meaningful results. Despite having access to vast amounts of data and advanced technology, many businesses struggle to achieve true transformation. The problem often isn’t the technology itself—it’s the lack of alignment between AI strategies and human values, leadership, and organizational structure. In The AI Awakening, I address this by offering a holistic framework that goes beyond technical solutions. I focus on integrating human consciousness, ethical decision-making, and long-term vision into AI strategies. My book helps leaders understand that AI isn’t just about automation or efficiency—it’s about creating a sustainable, value-driven approach to growth that aligns with both business goals and human potential."
  • What impact do you hope this book will have on the AI industry and its approach to business transformation?
    "My hope is that The AI Awakening sparks a shift in how we approach AI and business transformation—moving from a purely technical focus to a more holistic, human-centered approach. I want to inspire leaders to see AI not just as a tool for efficiency but as a catalyst for creating meaningful change that aligns with ethical principles and human values. I believe that if more businesses adopt this mindset, the AI industry can evolve in a way that is more sustainable, responsible, and impactful. I hope this book challenges the status quo, encouraging leaders to rethink their strategies and prioritize not only technological advancement but also the well-being of people and society."
  • Who should read this book?
    "This book is for anyone curious about how AI can transform not just businesses, but also how we approach growth in a more holistic way. It’s designed for conscious business leaders—whether you’re a startup founder, a C-suite executive, or someone in a company driving change with data and AI. It’s also for those who are passionate about aligning technology with human values and ethics. Whether you’re just beginning your AI journey or already leading transformation, this book will guide you through using AI not just for efficiency, but for making a real, lasting impact. If you care about the future of technology, business, and human growth, then this book was written with you in mind."
  • How does your personal philosophy shape the way you approach AI and business transformation?
    "My philosophy centers around the belief that technology should serve humanity. I approach AI and business transformation by prioritizing human values, ethics, and consciousness. It’s not just about leveraging AI for efficiency; it’s about creating meaningful, sustainable growth that benefits both businesses and people. This human-centered approach shapes everything I do, from research to advising leaders on AI strategies."
  • How can readers stay connected with you and continue learning about the ideas in your book?
    "I’d love to stay connected with readers as they explore the concepts in The AI Awakening. You can follow my work through AI Alchemy Hub, where I regularly share insights on AI, business transformation, and human-centered leadership. I also host workshops, webinars, and retreats that dive deeper into the themes of the book, giving you practical tools to apply in your own work. You can visit my website or connect with me on LinkedIn to keep the conversation going. I’m always eager to hear from readers and continue the dialogue about how we can harness AI in a way that aligns with our values and vision for the future."
  • What’s the role of ethics in AI, and how does your book address it?
    "Ethics in AI is not just important—it’s essential. As AI continues to influence decision-making, business practices, and society at large, the potential risks of biased algorithms, privacy concerns, and ethical missteps become more apparent. In The AI Awakening, I emphasize that AI strategies must be rooted in human values and ethical considerations from the start. My book explores how leaders can integrate ethical principles into their AI initiatives, ensuring that technology is used responsibly and transparently. By centering around human values and consciousness, I present a framework that helps organizations navigate ethical challenges, from data governance to responsible AI deployment. Ultimately, I believe that ethical AI is the only path to sustainable, meaningful transformation."
  • What’s the key takeaway you want readers to remember after finishing this book?
    "The key takeaway I want readers to remember is that AI is not just about technology—it’s about transformation, both for businesses and for people. True, sustainable growth happens when we align AI strategies with human values and consciousness. I want readers to leave this book with the understanding that the most powerful AI solutions are those that consider not only efficiency but also the ethical, human, and long-term impact of their decisions. By focusing on a more holistic approach to AI, we can create businesses that are not just more innovative, but also more purposeful and impactful."
  • What challenges did you face while writing this book, and how did you overcome them?
    "Writing this book was one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences I’ve had. The biggest challenge was balancing my time—between running my startups, launching AI Alchemy Hub, and working on this book, it often felt like there weren’t enough hours in the day. I also underestimated how much work goes into crafting a book that is both deep and accessible. What helped me push through was staying connected to my 'why.' Every time I felt overwhelmed, I reminded myself of the message I wanted to share—that AI can be a tool for both business and human transformation. That kept me motivated. I also leaned on the support of my community—mentors, colleagues, and my family—to keep me grounded and focused throughout the process."
  • What do you hope readers will take away from this book?
    "I hope readers come away with a new perspective on AI—not just as a tool for business efficiency, but as a force for meaningful, human-centered growth. I want them to see that true transformation happens when we align technology with our values, ethics, and long-term vision for both business and society. Beyond just technical knowledge, I hope this book inspires readers to rethink how they approach AI, data, and leadership. Whether it's empowering their teams, making ethical decisions, or driving innovation, my goal is to give them the tools and mindset to lead with both purpose and impact."
  • What practical steps can readers take right now to start implementing the principles in your book?
    "The first step is to shift your mindset and start viewing your organization or team as a living ecosystem. Recognize that true transformation isn’t just about technology—it’s about aligning your AI strategies with human values, ethics, and long-term vision. Start small by identifying one area where AI can add value, whether that’s improving decision-making, enhancing customer experiences, or streamlining operations. Then, focus on building a diverse, multidisciplinary team that combines technical skills with human insight. Lastly, prioritize ethical governance from the outset. Begin asking tough questions about the impact of your AI initiatives, ensuring that they serve both your business and the broader community responsibly. These steps will help you lay the foundation for a more conscious, sustainable approach to AI."
  • What role does innovation play in AI, and how can organizations foster it?
    "Innovation is at the heart of AI's potential. AI is evolving rapidly, and the organizations that succeed are the ones that embrace this constant change and push the boundaries of what’s possible. However, true innovation in AI isn’t just about adopting the latest technologies—it’s about fostering a culture that encourages creativity, experimentation, and a willingness to learn from both successes and failures. To foster innovation, organizations need to create environments where teams feel empowered to explore new ideas and take calculated risks. This means breaking down silos, promoting cross-functional collaboration, and encouraging a mindset that views challenges as opportunities for growth. In The AI Awakening, I highlight the importance of aligning innovation with human values, so that the advancements we make with AI not only drive progress but also benefit society as a whole."
  • How can AI help organizations navigate uncertainty and change?
    "AI is uniquely suited to help organizations navigate uncertainty and change because it allows leaders to make more informed, data-driven decisions in real time. By analyzing trends, forecasting outcomes, and providing insights into both opportunities and risks, AI helps businesses stay agile in rapidly changing environments. In The AI Awakening, I show how AI can help leaders not just react to change, but anticipate it. Whether it’s responding to market shifts or optimizing operations in times of uncertainty, AI offers tools that allow organizations to adapt more quickly and with greater precision. However, the key to leveraging AI effectively lies in pairing it with a human-centered approach—where leaders focus on long-term vision and ethical decision-making, even in turbulent times."
  • Why is this book different from others on AI and business transformation?
    "What makes The AI Awakening different is the holistic approach it takes. While many books on AI focus purely on technology or business efficiency, this book places human values and consciousness at the core of transformation. It’s not just about using AI to improve business outcomes—it’s about understanding that organizations are living ecosystems, and true transformation requires aligning technology with human growth and ethical principles. Drawing from my experience as a researcher, entrepreneur, and advisor to global organizations, I present a framework that blends cutting-edge AI strategies with lessons from human consciousness and personal growth. This combination creates a more sustainable, impactful way of using AI—not just to solve business problems, but to foster meaningful, long-term change."
