Organizations are racing to deploy Agentic AI, yet few are ready for the risks that emerge when employees use AI without structure, standards, or oversight.
The HUMAN Agentic AI Edge offers leaders a practical blueprint for building accountable AI-ready teams that consistently produce high-quality results. Drawing on real-world knowledge and insights from interviews with more than 50 AI leaders and experts, Andreas Welsch shows how to combine human judgment with Agentic AI capabilities to reach the level of performance many organizations expect but rarely achieve.
Instead of driving efficiency, teams are drowning in AI-generated noise disguised as information. Generic content, fabricated facts, and poor decisions are the signs of AI workslop when employees rely on AI without proper guidance, producing low-quality output that slows everyone down and tarnishes your company’s reputation. But your customers and stakeholders expect more from you than creating AI slop at scale.
In The HUMAN Agentic AI Edge, you will discover how to:
– Develop essential AI skills across your workforce
– Combine human expertise with Agentic AI scale
– Establish clear accountability for AI-augmented work
– Normalize responsible, accurate, and trusted AI use
– Scale beyond personal productivity without creating AI slop
From understanding workforce shifts to actionable strategies for embracing how humans and AI collaborate best, this book prepares you to shape the next generation of AI-ready teams that deliver high-quality results with high accountability.

“Rather than chasing AI hype, Andreas Welsch focuses on what actually makes a difference for enterprise teams. What we need most on AI projects right now are these kinds of real-world lessons. This book proves that a winning AI strategy is about combining human expertise with Agentic AI, rather than overreaching with tech. If enterprise leaders want their organizations to be AI-ready, they need a thoughtful, pragmatic roadmap, and they get that here.”
