The human talent deficit is the government's most conspicuous AI deficit and the single greatest inhibitor to buying, building, and fielding AI-enabled technologies for national security purposes. This book addresses the primary variable in the talent deficit, large numbers of qualified AI leaders, and provides leadership principles and practices for effectively integrating AI into programs and driving results in AI projects. The chapters convey 37 axioms and over 100 leader practices set among 50 cases and examples, 40 of which focus on AI in national security. Emphasizing its impact and practical nature, LTG (ret.) Ken Tovo, former commander of U.S. Army special forces, characterized the book as "the Ranger Handbook for AI implementation!" Whether you are a senior or mid-level leader who lacks hands-on experience with AI, or an AI practitioner who lacks leadership experience, this book will equip you to lead AI programs, projects, people, and technology. As the Honorable Robert Work wrote in the foreword: "This book is not the last word on leading AI in the national security enterprise, but I believe it is an essential starting point."
