Why I wrote it
AI is often presented as a catalog of tools. Leaders still have to decide what work matters, what authority the system receives, and what evidence makes its output dependable.
I wrote CEO of AI Staff to make those management decisions practical: define the seat, establish boundaries, test before expanding, and keep human accountability where the consequences live.
