The big question is, How do CTOs, CIOs, IT Managers, and IT Directors choose the right technology software, applications, and tools for their organizations?

Navigating the ever-evolving world of technology can be daunting, especially when someone is at the helm of a company's IT decisions. The landscape is riddled with established technology solutions, from packaged applications (ERPs) to SaaS, PaaS & IaaS vendors to Emerging technologies, each promising to be the game-changer and now with the Artificial Intelligence hype at the peak.
Being at the C-level is about more than just knowing tech stuff. It's about making sure that tech helps the business do well, and irrespective of the technology or who the vendor is providing, so many moving pieces need to be put in place.

Today we have a guest who is Chief Technology Officer (CTO), and he will take us on an exciting trip of starting with a simple idea, something you jot down quickly, and then you turn it into something tangible - Smart helmets. It must. be challenging as some people might doubt you, especially when they hear stories of other businesses that tried and didn't succeed.

Writing in the Age of AI has become crucial and a skill that requires a mindset to be grasped. Writing a book is a long-standing item on my to-do list, and today, I have got an exceptional expert on the show to learn from him about writing books and how to write books with the support of Artificial Intelligence.

I have been writing blogs for the last 12 years; I wrote my first blog in the year 2011, and interesting to see it was on 16th August 2021.

Without any doubt, writing a book offers a unique platform to share knowledge, experiences, and expertise. 

It establishes one as an authority in a particular domain and allows one to reach and impact a larger audience.

For technical experts, writing books becomes even more crucial. It’s an avenue to translate complex technical jargon into consumable content. 

In doing so, they bridge the gap between technological advancements and make it understandable for the wider community; it’s become like demystifying and democratizing knowledge.

However, writing a book is no mean feat. It demands time, patience, and a high level of commitment, which I am also struggling to overcome over the years.

Here’s where Artificial Intelligence comes into play.

AI tools can assist in multiple ways:

  1. Research: AI-driven tools can sift through vast amounts of data, summarizing and pulling out key insights that can be valuable for a writer.
  2.  Editing: AI-powered grammar and style checkers ensure the content is coherent, error-free, and engages the reader.
  3.  Content Enhancement: Through predictive text and content suggestions, AI can aid in refining the narrative, making it more compelling.
  4.  Market Analysis: AI can analyze current market trends to suggest topics or themes that resonate with readers.
  5.  Personalization: AI tools can help tailor content, ensuring it addresses the specific needs and preferences of the target audience.

Today, in our Podcast, we’re privileged to have a guest who embodies the confluence of traditional book-writing and modern AI tools. Having authored over 300 books, he not only understands the nuances of the writing process but has also harnessed the capabilities of AI to amplify his online business. His journey offers invaluable insights for anyone looking to venture into writing, especially in the technical domain.
