Appendix F — Further reading

Three picks first, one per angle, all free. Then the sources behind specific chapters, so you can check this book the way Chapter 7 taught you to check anything else.

F.1 Read next

Practice. Conversation, Not Delegation, the companion book this course draws on. Start with the VET and conversation loop chapters: michael-borck.github.io/conversation-not-delegation.

Safety. The International AI Safety Report 2026, led by Yoshua Bengio. The three-page executive summary is enough to start: internationalaisafetyreport.org.

The sceptical view. Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor, “AI as Normal Technology” (2025), on why change may arrive over decades rather than years: knightcolumbia.org.

F.2 Australian guidance and law

• Australian Government, Guidance for AI Adoption (October 2025). The six essential practices in Appendix D, with an AI policy template: ai.gov.au.
• Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, guidance and flowchart on transparency for AI and automated decision-making, covering the Privacy Act APP 1.7 to 1.9 obligations from 10 December 2026: oaic.gov.au.
• Curtin Executive Education, Ethics of Artificial Intelligence masterclass, for governance, risk, and regulation in depth: curtin.edu.au.

F.3 Sources behind the chapters

• Chapter 8. Dylan Davis, the Decide Like Me method. The course adopts the elicitation and blind-testing core and stops short of autonomous decisions, as the chapter explains.

Brynjolfsson, E., Chandar, B., and Chen, R. (revised 2026), “Canaries in the Coal Mine?” on early-career employment in AI-exposed US jobs.

F.4 Free tools from the course

• Trust Tool game. Ten placement scenarios with explanations: trusttool.borck.education.
• Course companion site. Workbook, prompt builder, slides, downloads, and the Northbridge prompt-injection document from Appendix E: michael-borck.github.io/the-human-edge.
• CiteSight. Checks whether references exist, for the Verify step in Chapter 7: citesight.eduserver.au.

F.5 The Human Edge series

• This book. The Human Edge: Using AI with Judgement. Personal judgement at your desk and in the work you deliver. Curtin Executive Education masterclass of the same name.
• In development. The Human Edge: Leading AI with Judgement. Choosing which AI projects to back, and making sure they deliver. The companion masterclass replaces AI in Strategy and is being redesigned before the book is written, so the book can be tested in the room first. That order is deliberate, and Chapter 10 explains why.
