Book DescriptionThe exponential growth of AI-led technologies means that more and more businesses are facing a steep learning curve to keep up with the fast-paced AI solutions market. Most of the introductory material available to those wanting to get up to speed quickly is either too superficial or too technical, creating a need for a practical, focused approach that would help managers deliver complex projects using machine learning (ML) or AI.

AI for Managers is written as a soft landing in the AI world, starting with a rundown of the terminology, easily digestible data science concepts, and a breakdown of common myths about AI and ML. This introduction alone will help you discuss and plan projects that involve AI-led technologies better and critically assess information about the topic.

As you progress, you’ll explore tailored data science topics that will help you find ways to apply AI solutions to business problems, formulate processes and timelines, set realistic goals and KPIs for your teams, and learn best practices through case studies.

Building on the use cases, some of the top AI managers across the globe will share 30 practical insights and best practices that you must know to succeed in this field.
