This section lists the sources cited throughout the book. The numbered source index, ordered by source number, is the canonical bibliography: every inline citation of the form (N, author or organisation, year) links to the entry with that number. The index is grouped by category so that readers can locate European legislation, frameworks, incident reports, research on leadership, decisions and work, and practitioner literature quickly.
The bibliography was seeded from the entries of AI Operations (Book 10) that bear on leadership, legislation, standards, AI incidents, automation and skill, and the series entries; operations tooling was left out. Every seeded entry was opened and checked against the primary text or a bibliographic record in the earlier volume. Sources added while this book is drafted are written in the reserved range of the chapter that cites them and verified before release, and sources that no chapter cites are removed before the book is merged.
Inline citations give the source number, the author or organisation, and the year, for example (9, MITRE, n.d.), and link to the entry here. Where an author is named in the sentence, the citation carries the year. Each chapter closes with a ## Sources section that lists the works it cites, using the same numbering as this bibliography. New sources are appended to the appropriate category with the next free number; existing numbers are never reused.

About AI Leader
AI Leader is Book 11 of The Transformed Architecture. It takes leadership as its subject and asks what happens when AI is used broadly: the five leadership functions (orient, decide, organise, enable, answer), the delegation ladder and the Level 4 prohibitions, the answerability principle (name, explain, reach), the span and the middle layer, human-agent work, the board and the management body, change and adoption as claims that need evidence, regulation (the AI Act, DORA, NIS 2, the GDPR), ethics and sovereignty, and the leader as a person, for European enterprises and public authorities.
It builds on the conclusions of Architecture as Code, AI Governance, AI Platform and Security, AI Red Team, AI Threat, The Transformed Security Architect, AI Boss, AI Blue, AI Purple and AI Operations.
chairs and members of boards, chief executives and executive teams, the changing C-suite, middle managers and first-line leaders, heads of public authorities and the politicians who oversee them, HR specialists, works councils and unions, architects who advise leaders, and supervisors and auditors.
