The launch of “Think Digital Rewired for the AI Age” was more than just a typical book event; it was a bold statement that Sri Lanka is ready to embrace the future. Held on 3 February 2026 at Colombo Port City, the evening brought together industry leaders, students, educators, and entrepreneurs under one roof.
This wasn’t a room full of tech experts. Instead, it showcased a diverse ecosystem from seasoned professionals in law, banking, development, and ICT to curious young minds getting their first glimpse of real-time AI demos. The diversity wasn’t just in industries, but in generations and thinking approaches.
The book itself is not a technical manual. It’s a strategic companion, designed to help individuals and organisations stay relevant in a world accelerating through digital transformation and the rise of AI.
With insightful discussions and engaging questions from the audience, the evening underscored a vital message: AI isn’t a future option; it’s a present reality. And those who learn how to harness it, not fear it, will thrive.
Let’s take a closer look at what made this book launch stand out, and why Think Digital Rewired for the AI Age just might become essential reading in the AI era.
