"The Evolution of Professional Training by Matteo Zaralli is a clear and insightful look at how technologies like AI and immersive environments are transforming the way we approach learning and professional development. It moves beyond buzzwords to explore what these tools really mean for the future of training—ethically, practically, and philosophically.

The book stands out for its ability to balance vision with real-world application. It doesn’t just imagine what’s possible, but offers concrete examples of how AI and VR are already being used to enhance both technical and soft skills. At the same time, it raises important questions about trust, identity, and the role of human judgment in an increasingly automated world. It’s a timely and accessible read for anyone involved in education, learning design, or workforce development. Thoughtful, grounded, and full of useful insights."

"The AI is a novelty with which, like it or not, we are forced to deal. True, Artificial Intelligence is a novelty that cannot be compared to other important novelties in history but the opportunities and possible risks that We often talk about when discussing Artificial Intelligence should suggest an approach that is without any doubt objective or at least capable of appreciate our value as human beings in a much more meaningful way. Matteo Zaralli's book, “Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence” is therefore not only a useful book for discovering the characteristics of virtual reality and Artificial Intelligence but also an interesting study in which the author demonstrates how important it is to approach technology having behind it an appropriate humanistic preparation."

Nicola De Vita — Author and Blog

"This book is unique in its completeness and clarity of exposition for those interested in the world of AI applied to business and in particular to training, but also for those more generally interested in learning more about the subject. Its dual approach of highlighting both the benefits and risks of AI is certainly an added value. While looking enthusiastically at the integration of AI and VR into the world of coaching and training, it does not avoid examining all the factors that need to be addressed to avoid risks and non-compliance.

I highly recommend it!"

"Thank you to Matteo Zaralli for this wonderful immersive and innovative way of seeing our near and next future with his innovative thoughts, informations and reflections. Such a good pleasure have met him in person in Dubai on February 2024 @ the Health 2.0 Conference and @ the Internet 2.0. The best suggestion I can give everyone is reading his book to open the point of view on our modernity and collaborate with him, as I' m actually doing, to improve the mindset in the company. Thank you Matteo!"

"The book “Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence. Risks and Opportunities for Your Business“ by Matteo Zaralli deeply investigates the topic of immersive reality and AI applied in the field of corporate training and professional growth. The book reveals an exhaustive analysis of several case studies, which demonstrate the benefits and the still existing difficulties of these new technologies applied in training courses. The book was an excellent starting point for writing my thesis, which covered the same topics: starting from the foundations of technologies, it critically analyses the potential uses for companies. Definitely a recommended reading for companies, for those interested in training and above all for those who want to learn about innovative methodologies in the field of corporate training. I highly recommend it!"
