Beyond the Hype By Sundeep Waslekar  

Beyond the Hype: Many Realities of AI challenges simplistic narratives around artificial intelligence and presents a deeper exploration of one of humanity’s most transformative forces. Drawing from conversations with leading global thinkers, strategic policy engagements, and observations across international security and governance platforms, Sundeep Waslekar examines how AI is reshaping power, knowledge, economic development, and global stability. The book explores the growing dependence on intelligent systems, emerging cyber vulnerabilities, questions of regulation and governance, and the widening divide between developed economies and the Global South in approaching AI. Rather than viewing AI as either a technological miracle or an existential threat, this book argues for understanding both realities simultaneously. Thought-provoking and timely, Beyond the Hype invites readers to engage with AI responsibly while reflecting on its profound consequences for society and the future of human civilization.
