PRAISE FOR AT THE SPEED OF IRRELEVANCE "Much like the Space Race and the Cold War of a bygone era, the authors argue we have entered a new frontier of international competition in artificial intelligence — one that will determine geopolitical primacy. The scary thing is, most Americans don’t realize we’re engaged in a life-or-death struggle, and, worse, we have no coherent national U.S. strategy for winning."—THOMAS W. DERRY, CEO, Institute for Supply Management "Some books nurture and coddle the reader. This book is not that kind of book. That, however, should not dissuade readers from digging into this book and embracing the important message it offers. In At the Speed of Irrelevance, authors Naqvi and Janakiram provide a direct and critical assessment of AI in America in a riveting if not anguish-inducing manner. The writing is compelling, and it is often difficult to put the book down, because the message is so sharp and urgent. They make the case that AI is central to the future success and livelihood of America and conclude that America is perilously lagging behind. They examine how the landscape has changed and how decisions have been made in the public and private sector which have contributed to the current dire state for AI in America. Their passion and deep knowledge drive a thoughtful and incisive assessment, and thankfully gives some hope for a favorable turnaround. It is a clarion call for action to rebuild what they argue is a national capacity."—JAMES B. RICE, JR., Deputy Director, Center for Transportation and Logistics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology "This book is an operating manual to rebuild America with AI."—TANICE “TK” GONSALVES, President, WTI
