This “hands on” guide gives the reader an overview of the industry & personal purpose for getting more informed about the uses & risks of AI in all its forms. It fearlessly addresses the pervasive social & environmental problems that AI-powered apps & just generating Artificial Intelligence itself can cause.

It contains exercises, Lifelong Learning activities & unique tools that readers can begin to put into effect immediately, either as an individual or a group at their workplaces, as well as in their leisure time. The guide features 8 actionable Case Studies with hybrid infographics, charts, cartoons & photos designed for instructors & teachers of all disciplines & levels.
The audience in mind is both young & old(er) readers, with the ancillary resources updated online for classes & work groups. The book is actually an exercise in civic education itself. By being clear-headed about how politics has entered work-related domains, we can begin to respond intellectually from a “neutral, civility-inspired perspective”.

REVIEWS OF THE EBOOK & PAPERBACK AI.CIVILITY.CLIMATE.

“Tania Peitzker brings a rare and powerful voice at the intersection of AI, diversity, and climate responsibility - challenging us to build technologies that are not only intelligent, but equitable and sustainable.
This work is a timely call to action for leaders to harness AI as a force for inclusive innovation and planetary impact. 🎉🙏🩷”

“How do we maintain professional integrity when the 'AI build-out' is accelerating the climate crisis and eroding our civil discourse? Dr. Tania Peitzker bridges the gap between high-level geopolitical shifts, like the race for Greenland's rare earths, and the immediate, 'lifelong learning' steps we must take to defend democracy.
I truly appreciate her ability to translate immense complexity into actionable exercises, from The Peitzker Scale for identifying misinformation to creating 'Civility Codes' for the workplace.
This is a rare and timely, clear-headed guide that moves from the ‘why’ of the global crisis to the ‘how’ of community advocacy and action. It’s the practitioner's roadmap to finding a pro-human and climate-realistic point of view in a polarized world, and a set of must-have tools to get us there."

“In the fast moving world of AI it can feel overwhelming to sift through all of the information out there, not to mention to discern truth from fiction. How can we personally make a difference in protecting the planet and our own futures when Big Business, politicians and lobbyists have such a political and financial stake in driving forward their agendas?
In “AI.Civility.Climate. Ways to Move forward” Dr Peitzker reminds us that behind all AI decisions are human beings and we have the capability to make change. With user friendly case studies that bring to light the issues we may face as employees, business owners and citizens. The helpful toolkit will serve to “guide and upskill” us as we navigate the future of life and business using AI.”

After reading about Dr Peitzker’s 100% human-written work, the Gen AI tools TITANOM’s “DeutschlandGPT”, perplexity.ai's “Comet” & Anthropic's “Claude” collaboratively summed up her latest book:
We are living through two simultaneous crises - and most people don't know how to talk about either of them.
AI. Civility. Climate. Ways to Move Forward. examines how Artificial Intelligence can be steered toward human wellbeing and planetary survival rather than accelerating division, waste, and environmental harm. Through eight vivid case studies, Dr Tania Peitzker explores how AI design choices impact supply chains, energy systems, public discourse, and mental health - spanning healthcare, construction, gaming, geopolitics, and beyond.
This is not a doom manual. Peitzker offers practical tools for navigating our fractured world: group games for corporate workshops, classroom activities for business schools, whistleblowing guides, and debate formats that rebuild civic literacy.
Among the book's original frameworks is The Peitzker Scale; a 1–10 assessment tool for understanding the progression of conspiratorial thinking and paranoid beliefs, helping individuals and organisations identify and respond to misinformation at every level of severity.

Original infographics and illustrations - many co-created with generative AI - translate complex socio-technical issues into clear visual frameworks for decision-makers.
Civility isn't weakness. It's the smartest tool we have left.

Praise for Tania's last book with BEP in New York:

Uses and Risks of Business Chatbots

“This book is a detailed exploration of the compelling business case for chatbots. It covers the advantages of the technology, the inherent challenges that exist, and advice on implementation.
It will guide decision-makers through the complexity and opportunities ahead. Tania has created a valuable contribution to the necessary literature required for all of us to better understand one important aspect of the fourth industrial revolution.”
Dr. Jonathon Reichental, LinkedIn Learning Instructor, CEO of Human Future, author & Adjunct Professor at UC Berkeley & the University of San Francisco. Former Chief Information Officer of Palo Alto City, California, USA.

“Peitzker’s book is a user-friendly guide into the world of business chatbots. It’s not a tech manual filled with jargon; it’s more like a conversation about how these digital assistants work, where they work well, and the areas where we should tread carefully.
Forget the buzz – Peitzker grounds us in the reality of business chatbots. She goes beyond the hype, exploring how these bots are more than just digital receptionists. They can handle tasks, answer queries, and even engage in conversations that feel surprisingly human.
Peitzker highlights that we should see chatbots beyond the flashy features and asks, ‘How can these bots be practical problem-solvers in the business world?'”
Ben Holland, Data Analyst & "The Book Club reviewer" at DDBM , a Data Engineering, Analytics, IT Architecture, Business Intelligence and Training company, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

“I wasn’t sure of the connection between AI and chatbots used for business before I read this book. It has helped me understand Conversational Commerce as ‘botified’ Conversational AI. So how these new 3D bots can be deployed for maximum advantage in the public and private sectors.
The checklists and guidelines were really useful and I have recommended them to my clients in the technology sector as well as other stakeholders I work with in the civil service, media industry and advertising with regard to Intellectual Property, privacy laws and use of consumer’s data.”
Sean James Kelly, Technology Solicitor at SJK in Sydney; also a corporate and government adviser, Australia.

“Uses & Risks of Business Chatbots is perfect for my business strategy - I work with all sorts of entrepreneurs and business owners.
Whether they are digital venture founders or not, we all need to get a better grasp of what Virtual Assistants (what we’ve known as 2D chatbots) in their latest format – Cognitive 3D avatars in any language – can do for us as consumers, ‘users’ in the Experience Economy and business development directors of a globalised, rapidly changing Digital Economy powered by Artificial Intelligence”.
Natasha Mitchell, business strategy and efficiency consultant, founder and CEO Inspire & Drive.

“Thank goodness someone is trying to enlighten us to the positives and negatives of this new world of technology. Congratulations Tania.
This is easy to read and shows possibilities as well as difficulties. This world needs books like this as we are being overtaken by technology and needing education to stop our fear & bias.
Yes you have started the ball to roll. I already see possibilities and ways to use the AI in a creative way. Thank you…”
Sue Porter, Former Wimbledon, French & US Open Tennis Champion and WTA Players’ mentor and local youth coach in Cairns, Australia, and Miami, Florida, USA.
