AI is transforming the way we think, work, and connect. To help your team stay ahead, we’ve turned three Briefly book summaries into short, engaging videos that highlight the essentials on artificial intelligence, human potential, and the power of communication. Each summary is designed to spark discussion and equip your people with practical insights they can put to work immediately.

1. Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI by Ethan Mollick

Great ideas need great communication. This summary unpacks how world-class communicators use storytelling, clarity, and persuasion to influence audiences and build lasting careers. Your team will walk away with tips to sharpen their communication edge in the age of AI.

3. Human + Machine: Reimagining Work in the Age of AI by Paul R. Daugherty & H. James Wilson

AI isn’t replacing people, it’s augmenting them. This summary reveals how leading companies are redesigning workflows, adopting AI responsibly, and developing human-centered skills that power success in AI-driven roles.

We don’t just want you to read or listen to these summaries; we want you to use them to drive change in your org. That’s why we created a Facilitator’s Guide with ready-to-go discussion questions for each book. It’s your tool to spark conversations, deepen learning, and turn big ideas into practical action with your team.
