Good read for more info about where AI stands today and what sort of research is being done， how to implement AI in our businesses， when to start etc etc。 I enjoyed reading it。 It was a quick read。 😇

Can’t believe how bad this was。 Just lots of buzz words and babble。 Do not waste your time。

Short and sweetThis is a short compilation of HBR articles about AI （the added value opportunity， the risks， the method how to formulate problems correctly and how to work with it in existing workplaces/companies）。The authors are pretty good guys from whom I already read some books （The second machine age; Machine Platform Crowd; Prediction Machines） so their knowledge is firm on the topic。What's good about the book:- it's short and does not overwhelm you with techno-jargon- it's relevant regard Short and sweetThis is a short compilation of HBR articles about AI （the added value opportunity， the risks， the method how to formulate problems correctly and how to work with it in existing workplaces/companies）。The authors are pretty good guys from whom I already read some books （The second machine age; Machine Platform Crowd; Prediction Machines） so their knowledge is firm on the topic。What's good about the book:- it's short and does not overwhelm you with techno-jargon- it's relevant regarding the selection of bigger topics: what is AI and Machine Learning， what does data mean for your company， how to deal with it now and long-term- also gives good examples about specific companies and their implemented strategies （e。g。 Facebook， who embraced AI fully across its businesses）- it's neither too optimistic， nor too pessimistic5 stars because the articles are definitely worth reading， even one by one or straight in a raw for business people。 Note: This book is NOT about coding AI and ML algorithms， but about its potential impact on business and suggested implementation strategies。 。。。more

A good light-touch introduction to the vast world of possibilities of AI

Bernard Sia ，

Marcus ，

Very well written and eye opening

Amr Swalha ，

great book filled with fundamentals for future work。

Himanshu Kapila ，

This book is written in simple language to help a non IT professional understand the scope and depth of AI。 This helps you become aware of what companies are doing and what AI can and can’t do。 A good read without Jargons and complex mathematical model。

Martin Ljungqvist ，

Nice summary of the status of AI right now from a couple of articles by some leading names in the field。

Winai Nadee ，

A summary of situations in AI era as I am shifting my research interest in AI and human aspects。 Enjoyable。

Generic high-level overview

This is a really good book。 The content is high-quality， meaty， meaningful and usefull， containing information and ideas that can be taken straight into the workplace by leaders involved in digital。 Chapter 1 on the business of AI lays out a great definition and explanation of what AI is and more importantly what it is not。 Here there are some insightful nuances， for example the fact that we will be unable to a certain degree of knowing how AI came to a specific conclusion。 Chapter 2 on Facebook This is a really good book。 The content is high-quality， meaty， meaningful and usefull， containing information and ideas that can be taken straight into the workplace by leaders involved in digital。 Chapter 1 on the business of AI lays out a great definition and explanation of what AI is and more importantly what it is not。 Here there are some insightful nuances， for example the fact that we will be unable to a certain degree of knowing how AI came to a specific conclusion。 Chapter 2 on Facebook AI' workshop is excellent， taking us right inside so we can see how AI is rolled out in one of the worlds largest organisations。 Again there are some real gems here， like focussing on some very specific processes where AI can help and then starting there， as opposed to the grand， big-picture prespective。 Chapter 8 covers the nature of collaboration between AI and humans， something the book takes as a central theme。 Here 5 characteristics of business processes that companies typically want to improve: flexibility， speed， scale， decision making and personalisation。 There are some good examples of eacg provided， for example Mercedes use of cobots to allow greater customer personilsation of cars。 The section on how AI is getting more emotional is way too short and feels perfunctory。 The are a few references to cars but not much more than that， as with the chapter on strategy， could be longer and more detailed。All-in all though a great text I'd recommend for anyone wanted a greater insight into effective uses of AI。 。。。more

A great way to start the year！This book is fascinating， clear， and concise。 It looks at AI from different points of view from the most prestigious scientist in the field， such as Andrew Ng。 This was exactly what I need to have a clearer view of applications of machine learning in the real world。 Highly recommended。

Alina ，

An interesting collection of articles providing with a broad overview of what AI means for business。 Best percieved if you already have some understanding of what AI is， but otherwise relatively basic concepts。

This book has a great collection of articles explaining what is artificial intelligence， how it affects the modern business landscape， what are the implications to ordinary consumers， and so much more。 Readers will also benefit greatly with the Take Aways provided by the end of each article。 This is a great way to summarize the main points discussed; so if the reader is pressed for time he/she can jump right to the take away section。The articles are well written， carefully selected， and easy to This book has a great collection of articles explaining what is artificial intelligence， how it affects the modern business landscape， what are the implications to ordinary consumers， and so much more。 Readers will also benefit greatly with the Take Aways provided by the end of each article。 This is a great way to summarize the main points discussed; so if the reader is pressed for time he/she can jump right to the take away section。The articles are well written， carefully selected， and easy to understand。 I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to get fast and in-depth understanding of the basic concepts of artificial intelligence。 。。。more

Excellent collection of essays on Artificial Intelligence by experts in the field。 While not particularly an introduction to AI for business people， it does present its advantages and challenges from a business point of view， so it's not full of technical jargon。Highly recommended for business people who want to know how AI can impact their business。 Excellent collection of essays on Artificial Intelligence by experts in the field。 While not particularly an introduction to AI for business people， it does present its advantages and challenges from a business point of view， so it's not full of technical jargon。Highly recommended for business people who want to know how AI can impact their business。 。。。more

This is an excellent high-level view of AI at the moment。 Like any business book， you're rating will depend on what you're seeking。 Because there is no technical language， it has lots of interesting examples and each chapter （which is really a reprinted article） has a nice summary at the end。 If you're seeking an intelligent and insightful set of authors that layout broad strokes， this is highly recommended。 This is an excellent high-level view of AI at the moment。 Like any business book， you're rating will depend on what you're seeking。 Because there is no technical language， it has lots of interesting examples and each chapter （which is really a reprinted article） has a nice summary at the end。 If you're seeking an intelligent and insightful set of authors that layout broad strokes， this is highly recommended。 。。。more

I’ve been working with data for the majority of my career。 I started out with Executive Reporting， moved on to Business Intelligence， which then became Business Analytics， and added in Performance Management and Predictive capabilities。 Eventually this led to Artificial Intelligence， Machine Learning， Data Science， and more。 Artificial Intelligence is much like other technologies in that it is not a question of whether your organization will adopt AI， but rather when and how to tackle that first I’ve been working with data for the majority of my career。 I started out with Executive Reporting， moved on to Business Intelligence， which then became Business Analytics， and added in Performance Management and Predictive capabilities。 Eventually this led to Artificial Intelligence， Machine Learning， Data Science， and more。 Artificial Intelligence is much like other technologies in that it is not a question of whether your organization will adopt AI， but rather when and how to tackle that first project。 As with most new technologies， that first project is the most daunting of all。 I have seen many companies dive in head first and quickly try to keep their heads above water。 It’s not difficult， but it’s a matter of identifying the right use cases and the right place to start within your company。 Getting started is key and if you haven’t already started， you may already be behind the curve compared to your peers。The articles in this book are a good compilation that can help companies get past that first bump in the road and begin their AI journey in earnest。 This would be a great read for any team that is just starting out to help set the stage for their conversations and set the wheels in motion。 It would also be a good read for any team that may have stumbled on their first foray and need to get things back on track quickly。As always HBR has solid articles and advice。 A pleasure to read these in a combined offering。 。。。more
