“The real risk with AI is not malfunction. It is misalignment.”
This book challenges the assumption that adopting AI is a matter of finding the right tools. Instead, it argues that local governments must treat AI not as a product to install, but as a powerful new presence entering a living civic ecosystem. Drawing on ecological thinking, the book reframes AI adoption as a relational and systemic challenge—one that affects trust, discretion, culture, and the pace of public life. It’s not a manual or a roadmap, but a series of provocations and questions designed to help public leaders govern with more clarity, humility, and care in an era of intelligent systems.
