      abstract = {In introducing the National Security Commission on AI's  final report, Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, and Robert  Work, former Deputy Secretary of Defense, wrote: "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." Drawing upon three decades of leading  hundreds of advanced analytics and AI programs and projects  in government and industry, Chris Whitlock and Frank  Strickland address in this book the primary variable in the  talent deficit, i.e., large numbers of qualified AI  leaders. The book quickly moves from a case for action to  leadership principles and practices for effectively  integrating AI into programs and driving results in AI  projects. The chapters convey 37 axioms - enduring truths  for developing and deploying AI - 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." You will:  Review axioms or enduring truths at work in six dimensions  of AI: program, budget, project, data science, people, and  technology Apply best practices--such as decision  frameworks, processes, checklists--for leading work in each  of the six dimensions. See how the axioms and best  practices are contextualized to national security  missions.},
