Artificial intelligence is not a new assembly line. It doesn't integrate everyone-it amplifies those who are ready. This book explains why. 1000 × 0 = 0 argues that AI does not replace human work-it multiplies it. But it can only multiply what already exists. Without skills, data, knowledge, and creativity, even the most powerful AI produces nothing. As the title suggests: a thousand times zero is still zero. Blending historical insight with strategic analysis, the book explores how AI is reshaping individual careers, business models, education systems, and public institutions. It offers a clear and well-documented guide for those who want not just to follow the AI transformation-but to shape it. A book for professionals, educators, policy makers, business leaders, and curious readers. Not about AI in itself, but about how to live and work well with it.
