It is amazing how fast these books become partially too old （out of date）。 Good generic reading， but if you already are familiar with the topic， it is likely that this book does not give you any new ideas。

Didn't read the whole book but picked articles of interest。 Very business-focused （which makes sense given the format）。 Interesting insights into different models。 The fact that some of the articles were sponsored by Google amongst others made me a bit skeptical of the accuracy/objectivity of the facts/opinions presented。 Didn't read the whole book but picked articles of interest。 Very business-focused （which makes sense given the format）。 Interesting insights into different models。 The fact that some of the articles were sponsored by Google amongst others made me a bit skeptical of the accuracy/objectivity of the facts/opinions presented。 。。。more

Covering multiple technologies， these are stories about the potential that comes from a human/mashine interface that leverage each ones strengths。 Springled with a few business strategy considerations。

HBR's 10 must reads series is one of the best collection of books I've come across。 HBR themselves compile a collection of 10 really impactful essays on certain topics， pertaining to management， business strategy， technology and the works。 This book was centered more along the coalition of business and technology's integration in the 21st century。 Not only are the essays relevant to the modern timeline， they're also extremely visionary in their approach。 With topics ranging from Digital Personal HBR's 10 must reads series is one of the best collection of books I've come across。 HBR themselves compile a collection of 10 really impactful essays on certain topics， pertaining to management， business strategy， technology and the works。 This book was centered more along the coalition of business and technology's integration in the 21st century。 Not only are the essays relevant to the modern timeline， they're also extremely visionary in their approach。 With topics ranging from Digital Personal Assistants to understanding upcoming fields like Blockchain and Cloud Computing， this book covers a wide spectrum maintaining a consistent style of writing that doesn't make them seem too overwhelming， while at the same time， educating the reader about the topic to a good extent。One of the standout features is a small section where they list， in a bulletin format， the various points of discussion， which adds some structure to the article。 Some of the articles are really eye opening， specifically the ones about， Shift from Pull to Push Marketing to better sell products on Personal Assistant platforms， A new era of Blockchain， Virtual Reality's influence in the future are just some of them。 A mix of authors for each essay reduces the monotonous tone some non fiction books have。 All in all its a great read， the content is easily relatable and understandable for people of all age groups。 。。。more

Okay， just okay - especially now in 2020。 Some articles better than others， largely driven by personal interest。 I liked the one towards the end on AI because it cited interesting scientific studies that make one think。Funny to hear the venerable Michael Porter in 2017 conjecture wildly about "revolutionary AR/VR。" It's like a front row seat to the early phases of Gartner's Hype Cycle。 Okay， just okay - especially now in 2020。 Some articles better than others， largely driven by personal interest。 I liked the one towards the end on AI because it cited interesting scientific studies that make one think。Funny to hear the venerable Michael Porter in 2017 conjecture wildly about "revolutionary AR/VR。" It's like a front row seat to the early phases of Gartner's Hype Cycle。 。。。more

An informative read without being over-technical。 It touch bases on various emerging technologies and their present as well as potential impact。 A key point all these articles stress upon is -why humans should not be threatened by the adoption of these technologies or assume that their jobs will become extinct。

There is always hype when a new technology emerges。 This book helps us discern what is doable from what is impractical。

Good high level introduction to the topics with sporadic more elaborated ideas every now and then。 If you are truly interested in the topics， perhaps you should read more in depth analysis。 The devil is always in the details。

This is an eclectic selection of articles from Harvard Business Review on all sorts of issues loosely related to "Artificial Intelligence" （AI）。 Even taking into the account that what is most often presented as AI is really various aspects of Machine Learning （ML）， this book goes well beyond that in terms of topics are covered。 It would be more fair to say that this is a book on various forms of technological disruption that may or may not materialize in the near future （Blockchain and "Hub Econ This is an eclectic selection of articles from Harvard Business Review on all sorts of issues loosely related to "Artificial Intelligence" （AI）。 Even taking into the account that what is most often presented as AI is really various aspects of Machine Learning （ML）， this book goes well beyond that in terms of topics are covered。 It would be more fair to say that this is a book on various forms of technological disruption that may or may not materialize in the near future （Blockchain and "Hub Economy" for instance。） Nonetheless， most of the pieces are fairly interesting to those of us who grok tech aspects of the business world。 A few articles， though， are a little more than glorified puff pieces。 The book is also a couple of years old， which makes some of the discussion feel a bit dated。 This is the （un）fortunate side effect of writing about the subject that moves incredibly fast。 Overall， this book is a mostly enjoyable read， and would recommend it。 。。。more

Read a couple of essays from this series。 Drones go to work by Chris Anderson is pretty cool。 Truth About Blockchain is another good one。 The author has strong arguments and a positive outlook on the adoption of blockchain， giving reference to and comparing it with the evolutionary phases of TCP/IP - single use， localized use， substituion， eventually leading to transformation。 I'm super excited to experience its wider localization in the near future。 I know NYSE and Fidelity and some other compa Read a couple of essays from this series。 Drones go to work by Chris Anderson is pretty cool。 Truth About Blockchain is another good one。 The author has strong arguments and a positive outlook on the adoption of blockchain， giving reference to and comparing it with the evolutionary phases of TCP/IP - single use， localized use， substituion， eventually leading to transformation。 I'm super excited to experience its wider localization in the near future。 I know NYSE and Fidelity and some other companies are testing it out。 Will I be alive long enough to witness a broader substituion， based on present （and valid） roadblocks？ I'm not certain， but seems very possible。 Marketing in the Age of Alexa was pretty thought provoking as well。 Marketers now possess greater economies of scope and the possibilities are beginning to be endless。 It's a bit scary， considering how powerful and intrusive AI can get and I hope cyber laws and regulatory bodies can keep up。 This Must Read series got me so hyped for the future of technology。 。。。more

One of HBR's 10 must reads， this book doesn't dissapoint。 An excellent text that provides insightful analysis of the role AI plays and will increasingly play in industry。 The big take-away from the book， as with many other texts in the field， is the proposition that AI will augment and not replace humans。 The challenge then is not to find the processes than can be replaced by AI， but the processes than can be enhanved by AI whereby human-machine collaboration is achieved that maximises outcomes。 One of HBR's 10 must reads， this book doesn't dissapoint。 An excellent text that provides insightful analysis of the role AI plays and will increasingly play in industry。 The big take-away from the book， as with many other texts in the field， is the proposition that AI will augment and not replace humans。 The challenge then is not to find the processes than can be replaced by AI， but the processes than can be enhanved by AI whereby human-machine collaboration is achieved that maximises outcomes。 The text covers a range of technologies not just AI， such as drones， blockchain and AR。 Many senior leaders in industry will be working through each of these trying to calculate the marignal gains each may/can provide so the text offers some great insights in that regard。 One memorable quote that stuck in the mind is from Chris Anderson on Drones， where he says that when conceptualising uses of drones， 'rather than seeing "airplanes without pilots"， we saw "smartphones with propellers"' （p。 81）。All in all， a great read and well recommended。 。。。more

Intriguing readThis was a great overview of a lot of different aspects regarding technology， obviously AI。 I enjoyed learning more about the field and the creative applications that may come out in the future。 Good for any business。

This book was very informative and not too over the top technically。 It is broken down more into ten longer magazine articles on unique topics。 You could read one article and put it down and not have to worry about reconnecting with the thread of the previous chapter。

Concise articles on broad subjects around the new machine age。 I enjoyed the fact that the book covered multiple technologies and not just big data or AI。 The business value potential of 3D printing， augmented reality， drones and blockchain are analyzed in distinct chapters。 If you are looking for a quick introduction to the business side of these exciting technologies this book is certainly a great read。

A short， diverse selection of articles on emerging technologies。 For abstract technologies， the descriptions of developing business models can be very good， It describes the foreseeable impact they will have。 It is also very interesting to consider the shifting implications for business strategy。 The articles are a little uneven， one made bazaar use of acronyms and they all had very different scopes。 I thought AI would be a theme for most of the book but it wasn't。 The diversity helped make the A short， diverse selection of articles on emerging technologies。 For abstract technologies， the descriptions of developing business models can be very good， It describes the foreseeable impact they will have。 It is also very interesting to consider the shifting implications for business strategy。 The articles are a little uneven， one made bazaar use of acronyms and they all had very different scopes。 I thought AI would be a theme for most of the book but it wasn't。 The diversity helped make the book very stimulating and I would highly recommend it for anyone interested in technology。 。。。more

Every single article demands that you read them。 Curated from established technological knowledge writers。 You would be hard pressed not to want to understand some of the most important burgeoning technological techniques that could be foundational for the future。
