Make your work easier to find-and harder to erase.Algorithms may open doors, but people decide what matters. Navigating an AI-Driven World is a practical guide for culture-makers, technologists, nonprofits, and healthcare teams who want their work to travel farther without losing the heart of it. This book bridges traditional craft with modern tools so your stories, services, and programs stay clear, credited, and community-led.You'll learn simple ways to choose what stays private, what you preview, what you invite others to build on, and what you release as the official version. With plain-language steps-not jargon-you'll set healthy boundaries, welcome the right collaborations, and make your work legible to audiences and the platforms that recommend it.Inside you'll get: Checklists to carry your name and context with every file (credit that sticks).Gentle "before you publish" habits-captions, transcripts, summaries-that widen access and trust.Ways to say yes to collaboration (and no to misuse) without slowing your momentum.Small-team workflows for studios, product squads, clinics, and community programs.Real examples that connect rehearsal rooms, servers, waiting rooms, and neighborhood halls.Who it's for: Artists, writers, musicians, librarians, product folks, organizers, clinicians, and public-health teams-anyone balancing impact and integrity.Why now: If you don't shape how systems learn your story, they'll tell it without you. We are stronger together; this book shows how people, practice, and technology can pull in the same direction-so your work remains visible, verifiable, and valuable.About the AuthorJoseph Santiago is a data-informed author and cultural innovator who helps communities tell their stories with clarity, credit, and care.
