Technology has permeated every single aspect of our lives, and right now, most companies are pursuing further advancements in AI technology. In Time is Now, Raj Verma, the CEO of SingleStore, recounts his story of discovering the power of 'Now,' showcasing how he used the three pillars of Now -- Information, Context, and Choice -- to steer a billion-dollar corporation. After a lifelong career in IT traversing three continents, Verma finally found his calling in Silicon Valley, where he learned about fostering an innovative culture to succeed. In this book, Verma discusses the pros and cons of AI and reiterates how we, as leaders, must keep long-term goals in mind ahead of short-term results to ensure it is beneficial for humanity. The author also touches on the impact of social media platforms and their algorithms on today's youth.
Written in the style of a memoir, Time Is Now: A Journey Into Demystifying AI delves deep into the heart of innovative AI technology and its undeniable impact on the financial, technological, and business world. The book follows Raj Verma's career from his days as a student from Kanpur, India, to becoming a highly successful Silicon Valley CEO who had to navigate numerous challenges along the way, including a scandal that led to the ousting of a former CEO of a major company. Drawing from personal anecdotes and lessons learned from his time in Silicon Valley, Verma explores the trajectory of AI technology and emphasizes that the decisions we make today will affect humanity long into the future. Overall, I found the book very informative and motivational and recommend it to aspiring leaders of tomorrow.
