{"product_id":"9783032117472","title":"The AI Competency Paradox : Why AI Doesn't Replace Jobs, but Reshapes Organizational Competence (Future of Business and Finance)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores how artificial intelligence disrupts the cognitive foundations of human expertise. It introduces the AI-Competency Ceiling and the Procedural Memory Paradox concepts that explain how AI-assisted performance accelerates early skill acquisition while impeding mastery. Drawing from neuroscience, skill acquisition theory, and over 150 years of technological disruption, the book presents a revised Dreyfus model, and case studies from Netflix to Toyota demonstrating the core messages of the book. It offers strategic frameworks for preserving cognitive capital, including Strategic Workforce Management, Meta-Intelligence Development, and mechanisms for sustainable AI adoption. More than a guide to adaptation, it challenges readers to consider whether thinking remains fundamentally human when cognition is outsourced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential reading for executives, strategists, policymakers, and educators navigating the tension between operational excellence and cognitive resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart 1: The Myth of AI Replacing Jobs Why AI s Impact Is Misunderstood.- Chapter 1: \u003cem\u003eThe Automation Fallacy\u003c\/em\u003e  Why AI doesn t function as a simple job killer. .- Chapter 2: \u003cem\u003eAI \u0026amp; the Competency Shift\u003c\/em\u003e  The difference between job elimination and job transformation.- Chapter 3: \u003cem\u003eThe Evolution of Work \u0026amp; Intelligence\u003c\/em\u003e  How AI disrupts skill acquisition rather than just employment.- Part 2: The AI-Competency Paradox How AI Challenges Traditional Skill Development.- Chapter 4: \u003cem\u003eThe Dreyfus Model \u0026amp; Competency Theory\u003c\/em\u003e  Why AI impacts different skill levels in unique ways.- Chapter 5: \u003cem\u003eIntrinsic vs. Extrinsic Competencies in the AI Era\u003c\/em\u003e  The hidden cost of AI automation in skill erosion.- Chapter 6: \u003cem\u003eThe AI-Augmented Workforce\u003c\/em\u003e  How organisations can realign skill development in an AI-driven economy.- Part 3: The Business Strategy Imperative How Leaders Must Rethink AI Adoption.- Chapter 7: \u003cem\u003ePorter s Strategy Lens: Cost Efficiency vs. Competitive Advantage\u003c\/em\u003e  How AI-driven cost-cutting strategies backfire.- Chapter 8: \u003cem\u003eSuccess vs. Failure in AI Workforce Integration\u003c\/em\u003e  Case studies of Tesla (failure) vs. Toyota (success).- Chapter 9: \u003cem\u003eRethinking AI Workforce Planning\u003c\/em\u003e  Practical strategies for sustainable AI-human collaboration.- Part 4: The Future of Work \u0026amp; Human Competence What Comes Next.- Chapter 10: \u003cem\u003eAI \u0026amp; The Future of Expertise\u003c\/em\u003e  How AI transforms the definition of human intelligence \u0026amp; skill.- Chapter 11: \u003cem\u003eThe Ethical \u0026amp; Economic Considerations of AI Workforce Transformation\u003c\/em\u003e  Implications for society, policymakers, and education systems.- Chapter 12: \u003cem\u003eAI as a Democratising Force or a Capitalist Tool?\u003c\/em\u003e  Examining whether AI is a force for democratic knowledge-sharing or a capitalistic tool for economic consolidation.- Part 5: The Strategic Responses and Cognitive Sustainability.- Chapter 13: \u003cem\u003eBuilding AI-Resilient Organizations\u003c\/em\u003e  A roadmap for business leaders to navigate the next decade of AI-driven work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrashant Singh Yadav\u003c\/strong\u003e is a systems thinker and CTO partner with over 20 years of experience in enterprise transformation based from Cambridge, U.K. He develops original frameworks that bridge AI, cognition, and organizational design focusing on knowledge coherence, decision logic, and resilient systems.
