In The Human Upgrade: How Better People Lead to Better AI, Asha Saxena argues that the future of artificial intelligence depends not only on advanced algorithms but on the humans who design, guide, and govern them. She highlights the need for emotional intelligence, ethical leadership, and continuous learning as essential “upgrades” for society. Saxena urges us to move beyond fear-based narratives about AI and instead focus on cultivating better thinkers, communicators, and decision-makers—because when people improve, the technology they build will follow.
