In an era where artificial intelligence is transforming every facet of life-including finance, education, governance, and communication- Prof. Sanjiva Shankar Dubey’s new book Gen AI for Educators stands out as a comprehensive, thoughtful, and practical guide to navigating this complex shift. While targeted at the education ecosystem, its insights are deeply relevant for leaders and professionals in the banking and financial services industry who are grappling with digital transformation and workforce upskilling.

With a strong academic and industry background, the author blends deep technical understanding with policy foresight. The book is structured into 14 chapters across 302 pages, covering the evolution of AI in education, Gen AI tools, ethical AI stewardship, prompt engineering, institutional strategy, and designing Al-integrated environments. What sets it apart is its philosophical and humanistic lens-reminding readers that AI should amplify, not replace, human intelligence

The book includes multiple case studies, classroom toolkits, and structured questions-making it equally valuable for academic institutions, corporate L&D teams, and BFSI training programs looking to embed AI literacy into their skilling frameworks.

The foreword, penned by Dr. Harivansh Chaturvedi, Director General of IILM Institute (Lodhi Road), adds further academic gravitas to the work, reflecting its relevance across both policy and pedagogy.

Prof. Dubey’s vision of an “Al-coexistent future” is both timely and urgent-calling upon policymakers, educators, and corporate leaders to move beyond fear or fascination, towards strategic integration that preserves human values.
