TOMORROW | TODAY allows us to pause and think—a rare opportunity in today’s noisy market.

TOMORROW | TODAY took me on a wonderful journey of fascinating content and profound insight. Donal translates a difficult topic into valuable, connected and important questions. The book is visionary and a ‘must read’ for business leaders who care about the future of man and machine.  Ingrid De Doncker, CEO, IDDConsult

The explosive growth of information gives rise to a fundamental truth: no human can process it all or should even try. Yet wise decisions must still be made in a world where Big Data is the new normal. That’s why Donal Daly’s new book is a ‘must read’ for leaders who wish to understand how computer-based intelligence can improve decision-making and perhaps even alter the competitive landscape. Highly recommended.  Bob Thompson, Founder and CEO, CustomerThink Corp. and author, Hooked On Customers: The Five Habits of Legendary Customer-Centric Companies

AI has the power to augment decision-making, but the challenge remains of how it deals with future unknown conditions. For example, if an algorithm only recognizes male or female genders, how do you ensure a transgendered person doesn’t get labeled as either male or female? Until we have a way to account for unknown future conditions, we won’t have a way to prevent unintended bias in our calculations.  Kristina Bergman, CEO and Founder, Integris Software Inc.

This book had me at “Stop making businesses more data focused; make data more business focused.” Donal’s incomparable view of how Data and AI should be serving me is inspiring. The machine is the assistant, not the overlord. TOMORROW | TODAY will be by my side moving forward.  Maureen Blandford, CMO, Software Improvement Group
