In The Real World AI, the authors use plain language to walk readers through an AI approach that works for their business. The book’s pervasive practicality—it’s brimming with helpful graphs, worksheets, and dozens of real-world examples—is infused with a spirit of demystification and a deep understanding of the technical complexity behind AI development. This book helps cut through the hype and doom and gloom surrounding automation and artificial intelligence. It explains how and why AI is useful, and discusses the challenges in developing an intelligent system that can be trusted to make smart decisions in real-world scenarios. It also provides a sensitive treatment of the ethical implications of AI development, highlighting how and why the design of intelligent systems must take into account human perception, ethics, and morality.
