Verification is not a guarantee that every statement can never become outdated or disputed. Several subjects in this book—AI adoption, employment effects, regulation, corporate policy and model performance—move quickly. The final manuscript narrows claims to what the cited evidence supports and identifies observational evidence as observational rather than causal.
Fast-moving 2026 claims should be refreshed immediately before final publication.
