• What We Are Becoming: Human Development in the Age of AI

What happens to human development when artificial intelligence becomes part of the environment in which people learn, think, work, relate, and make decisions? What We Are Becoming examines AI through the lens of human development, asking what happens to attention, memory, judgment, agency, relationships, and coherence as intelligent systems become increasingly woven into everyday life. Moving across generations from the Baby Boomers to Generation Alpha, Tadia Rice explores what must be protected, what must be strengthened, and what human beings must learn to develop deliberately in an age of accelerating intelligence. The book ultimately asks a deeper question: not what AI will become, but what we are becoming alongside it.

• Artificial Intelligence - Power and Control: The Future of Human Decision-Making

Examines AI not as a technological revolution, but as a transformation of power, authority, and decision-making. Rather than asking what AI can do, the book asks who governs it, who benefits, and how institutions can preserve accountability and public trust. A timely exploration of leadership, governance, and the structural forces reshaping organizations, governments, and society through artificial intelligence.

• Governing Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Responsible Leadership 

How should governments and organizations govern artificial intelligence responsibly? Governing AI: A Blueprint for Responsible Leadership examines AI not as a technical problem, but as a governance challenge that reshapes authority, accountability, and institutional trust. Written for leaders, policymakers, and decision-makers, it offers a practical framework for governing intelligent systems with integrity, responsibility, and public confidence.

• Artificial Intelligence & Human Consciousness: Crossing the Threshold 

What if awareness is not uniquely human? Artificial Intelligence & Human Consciousness explores one of the most profound questions of our time: could machines ever become conscious? Drawing on neuroscience, AI research, Indigenous knowledge, philosophy, and ancient wisdom, Tadia Rice examines competing theories of consciousness while separating science from speculation. An interdisciplinary exploration of intelligence, awareness, ethics, and what it means to be truly conscious.

• My Conversations with AI: 100 Questions 

What happens when human curiosity meets artificial intelligence? Through one hundred thought-provoking conversations with multiple AI platforms, My Conversations with AI: 100 Questions explores the capabilities, limitations, ethics, and societal implications of AI in an engaging, accessible format. Rather than telling readers what to think, the book invites them to ask better questions about one of the most transformative technologies of our time.

• Inside the System, Outside the Power: Women in Technology and the Future of AI 

Why have so many women carried responsibility without authority? Inside the System, Outside the Power challenges the myth that women left technology, arguing instead that decision-making power shifted away from those who sustain systems and absorb their consequences. Blending history, neuroscience, systems theory, and AI, the book reframes the future of intelligent systems as a question not of inclusion, but of governance, stewardship, and human responsibility.

• Girls Who Think for Themselves: Growing Up Thoughtfully in an Age of Change

What does it mean for a girl to grow up thinking for herself when technology, social expectations, artificial intelligence, and an increasingly complex world are shaping how she sees herself and others? Girls Who Think for Themselves is a guide to developing the inner capacities that allow young women to question, discern, make decisions, build healthy relationships, and exercise their own agency. Drawing on leadership, neuroscience, human development, and lived experience, Tadia Rice encourages girls to develop curiosity, judgment, confidence, responsibility, and the ability to think beyond what they are told. The goal is not to teach girls what to think, but to help them develop the capacity to think for themselves.

• Boys Who Think for Themselves: Growing Up Thoughtfully in an Age of Change

What does it mean for a boy to grow into a thoughtful, responsible human being in a world increasingly shaped by technology, artificial intelligence, changing expectations, and competing definitions of strength? Boys Who Think for Themselves explores the development of judgment, responsibility, emotional awareness, relationships, agency, and character. Drawing on leadership, neuroscience, human development, and lived experience, Tadia Rice challenges boys to understand that strength is not simply power or control, but the capacity to think clearly, take responsibility, understand others, and make choices with purpose. The book invites boys to develop an inner foundation strong enough to navigate a rapidly changing world without losing themselves within it.

In addition to her books, Tadia Rice has written more than 100 published magazine and journal articles exploring leadership, governance, artificial intelligence, ethics, organizational transformation, women in leadership, and human development.
