Unruly: Fighting Back when Politics, AI, and Law Upend the Rules of Business

In Unruly: Fighting Back when Politics, AI, and Law Upend the Rules of Business, cofounder of software company Hence Technologies and former Global Deputy CEO of Eurasia Group, Sean West, delivers a startlingly insightful new take on how politics, technology, and law are converging to upend the rules of business, generating dangerous risks and incredible opportunities. West convincingly argues that we must understand all three factors to get leverage over the future—a future filled with eroding rule of law, deepfakes that upend elections and court decisions, government pressure for businesses to be patriotic, robot lobbyists, a flood of automated legal claims pointed directly at your company, and more.

In this book you will discover a framework for understanding all of the pressures on modern corporations from the convergence of geopolitics, technology, and law; strategies for turning your company's legal department into a source of enduring competitive advantage; how to navigate government pressure for nationalism when you have a global footprint; approaches to winning in a world where courts are politicized and the law is increasingly automated, built on interviews with top experts; and ways to deal with the backlash to ESG at a company level. Perfect for executives, managers, and other business leaders, Unruly is also a must-listen for general counsels and advisors.
