Understand how to adopt and implement AI in your organization.

Artificial Intelligence implies using a computer to do tasks the way humans would. There are many definitions out there, but essentially, it is a set of algorithms that does four things: 1) Sense a given situation; 2)Understand it; 3)Take action; 4)Learn from the results in order to improve.

Interestingly, while all AI tools follow this sequence, most are designed to give a specific output that falls in one of these categories. An Algorithm is a set of tasks to be performed under specific conditions. Accordingly, an AI algorithm is programmed to take inputs, make different calculations or analyses based on those inputs and the results needed, and provide an output. However, what makes AI more advanced than a simple computer program that can also do all of this is not only the volume of information that AI can handle but its ability to learn and improve with time.

Most AI initiatives in organizations fail today not because of a lack of good AI solutions, but because of a lack of understanding of AI among its end users, decision makers and investors. Today, organizations need managers who can leverage AI to solve business problems and provide a competitive advantage. This book is designed to enable you to fill that need, and create an edge for your career.

The chapters offer unique managerial frameworks to guide an organization's AI journey. The first section looks at what AI is; and how you can prepare for it, decide when to use it, and avoid pitfalls on the way. The second section dives into the different AI techniques and shows you where to apply them in business. The final section then prepares you from a strategic AI leadership perspective to lead the future of organizations.

By the end of the book, you will be ready to offer any organization the capability to use AI successfully and responsibly - a need that is fast becoming a necessity.
