Five Stars

A very pragmatic enterprise relevant perspective to AI and how businesses can adopt and drive transformation today. Neither a utopian nor a dystopian view to AI but one enriched with very relevant examples of large organizations that are transforming business processes and experiences for customers, partners & employees.

This author is amazing

This book explores the far extreme where the machines start doing everything. The authors don't try to predict when it will happen. They use this scenario as a motivation while sharing a pragmatic view for the near future with a roadmap to make the most of the ongoing revolution. There are opportunities everywhere!
