About this listen
In Your AI Survival Guide, Sol Rashidi delivers an insightful and practical discussion of how to deploy artificial intelligence in your company. Having helped IBM launch Watson in 2011, Sol has firsthand knowledge of the ups, downs, and change management intricacies that can help you with a successful deployment beyond all the AI hype. She walks you through various frameworks for how to establish your AI strategy, pick your use cases, prepare your non-technology teams, and overcome the most common obstacles standing in the way of successfully implementing AI in your business.
Sol demystifies the topic of artificial intelligence in a way that business leaders and business owners—and those who want to be more business minded—can easily understand. The book also offers:
- Real-world use cases from ten different industries, including retail, healthcare, energy, insurance, agriculture, and more, and ten different functions, including supply chain, manufacturing, procurement, legal, and more
- personal stories, anecdotes, and insights gained from implementations
- techniques for facilitating executive-level buy-in for your most ambitious and promising AI strategies

Recent breakthroughs in AI have not only increased demand for AI products, they've also lowered the barriers to entry for those who want to build AI products. The model-as-a-service approach has transformed AI from an esoteric discipline into a powerful development tool that anyone can use. Everyone, including those with minimal or no prior AI experience, can now leverage AI models to build applications. In this book, author Chip Huyen discusses AI engineering: the process of building applications with readily available foundation models.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 268
Nvidia is the darling of the age of artificial intelligence: the company’s chips are powering the generative-AI revolution, and demand is insatiable. For all the current interest and attention, however, Nvidia is not of our time. Founded more than three decades ago in a Denny’s in East San Jose, for years it was known primarily in the then-niche world of computer gaming. In fact, the company’s leather-jacketed leader, Jensen Huang, is the longest-serving CEO in an industry marked by near constant turmoil and failure.

Don’t Buy This Book Be Forewarned
- By Susan Hess on 12-25-24
By: Tae Kim
I appreciate the book’s focus on the business acumen required for deploying AI. Sol’s insights on starting small and scaling quickly resonate with my own experiences in a startup environment. In the manufacturing industry, where leveraging bare minimum tech to stay relevant is often key to survival, the practical examples of applying AI to improve production planning and optimize supply chain operations with real-time data and AI-driven processes are particularly valuable.
A couple of years ago, during a holiday visit to Prague, I bought Melanie Mitchell’s AI: A Guide for Thinking Humans. It served as an introduction to the philosophy of AI. In contrast, Your AI Survival Guide is a practical handbook for applying these concepts in the business world.
I also loved the reference to the “rogue executive,” a term I’ve heard often. It perfectly encapsulates the bold and strategic mindset needed to overcome challenges like data quality issues and organizational resistance—both of which I’ve encountered in my own projects.
The line, “The tech is the easiest part of the lifecycle,” is so true! The real challenge lies in building the right strategies, fostering buy-in, and navigating the cultural and operational complexities of AI deployment. A solid foundation that prioritizes security, data integrity, privacy, and robust governance is essential from the start. Businesses must clearly define their goals and align their IT solutions accordingly. Rushing into new technologies without a well-defined strategy risks misalignment and inefficiency.
This book is a must-have for leaders who want to drive meaningful change with AI.
