Artificial Intelligence is all around us. It is set to transform the way we run businesses. Yet people fear it and businesses struggle to derive maximum value from it. Learning from the best practices of industry leaders, AI For You brings together frameworks and tools for infusing AI in business processes. The book demystifies AI, simplifies the complexities around AI technologies and describes how to take AI from lab to field while satisfying the concerns of different stakeholders. A must-read for builders, consumers, sponsors and sellers of AI, AI For You lays down the building blocks for the AI revolution while attempting to close the gap between the promise of AI and its actual impact.

If data is the oil for AI, technology is the engine which converts that oil into energy to propel the organization forward. One needs to invest in acquisition, maintenance, and upgradation of technology to keep the AI relevant and functional. We will go over the different aspects of the data and AI life cycle, how to infuse trust in AI, and multiple other topics. However, let us first look at some of the impediments in the successful adoption of AI, which can be simplified using the technology.

In recent times, we have seen a euphoria around AI models where each AI leader is publishing, publicizing, and (almost) boasting about the models which achieve human or superhuman performances. Examples include image recognition tasks on ImageNet, chatbots, language generation (GPT), etc. One aspect common across all these models is that they all leverage a state-of-the art technology stack for training. For example, GPT-2 takes X weeks to train on Y CPU/GPUs. Imagine if OpenAI had not built the training platforms, would we even have such models in existence? Unfortunately, while everyone wants to reap the benefit of AI models, the platform requirements and investments are often overlooked and undervalued. This could prove to be a costly mistake. All successful AI companies like Amazon, Google, and Flipkart have built and managed fast, scalable, and robust platforms which fuel AI to serve millions of customers and billions of transactions. When in doubt, do remember, there is no AI without IA (information architecture).

The second-most undervalued aspect of AI is investment in getting the right data in the right format. Many business owners (including well-established ones) believe that just because they have sensors and data collection hooks in the applications along with cheap storage media, they are ready for AI. Unfortunately, this is not true! All data is not equally important or even useful. Therefore, one needs to carefully select data which is business critical. It must go through multiple processing steps before it can be used for generating actionable insights. But, for now, let’s remember that data must go through a lot of pre-processing, cleaning, and standardization before it can be used for downstream applications.
