Book Description
How can you successfully deploy AI? When AI works, it's nothing short of brilliant, helping companies make or save tremendous amounts of money while delighting customers on an unprecedented scale. When it fails, the results can be devastating. Most AI models never make it out of testing, but those failures aren't random. This practical guide to deploying AI lays out a human-first, responsible approach that has seen more than three times the success rate when compared to the industry average. In Real World AI, Alyssa Simpson Rochwerger and Wilson Pang share dozens of AI stories from startups and global enterprises alike featuring personal experiences from people who have worked on global AI deployments that impact billions of people every day. AI for business doesn't have to be overwhelming. Real World AI uses plain language to walk you through an AI approach that you can feel confident about-for your business and for your customers.

Adopting TensorFlow for Real-World AI
Author: Naresh R. Jasotani
Publisher: Naresh R. Jasotani
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
This book is aimed at providing a practical guidance and approach for utilizing TensorFlow in the real-world based on Python (a programming language). You are not expected to be an expert in Python or know Python at all. The book is intended for newcomers in the field of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially for those, who do not have any statistical background, but they are really interested to learn the details and approach of building a Machine Learning application. This book is also intended for experienced data scientists, Machine Learning engineers, who are generally too focused on building Machine Learning model(s), investing 60-70% of their time in making the model work with a greater level of accuracy, in some cases, they forget the real application and the use case of the application. In most of these cases they end up what we call “overfitting” of the model. The book is expected to focus on developing a Machine Learning application, and in the process detailing multiple real-world practical challenges, steps of a ML application(s). Honestly speaking, the book is meant for “lazy” engineers, aspiring data scientists, Machine Learning engineers, experienced IT professionals in other fields, who like the authors, hate reading through lengthy books with several hundred pages of mathematical models and equations to even getting started with Machine Learning. Many of us are looking for a book with not more than 100-150 pages to gain an understanding on Machine Learning, and it could be an icing on the cake if the book can do away with minimal to no mathematical equations. There are many books, articles, books, guides and documents published on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and most of them focus on mathematical equations, building models, they tend to be very lengthy spanning several hundred pages. Of-course, they are aimed at serving an exhaustive content for readers to get a deep understanding on the subjects. The aim of this book is not only to just discuss the Machine Learning models, but also focus on explaining the core of Machine Learning with simple examples on regression, classifications, etc. and then discuss a practical approach and steps to build a productionized Machine Learning models with a practical feature engineering. As you read through the book, hopefully the myths of AI and Machine Learning will be debunked, and you will get a very granular/basic to an implementation level understanding and approach of developing ML applications. At the time of writing and conceptualizing this book (in 2019) the authors ensured to keep the content precise, and limit the length of the book in the range of 100-150 pages for those “lazy” but smart engineers out there. After you read this book you can expect to understand the commonly used terminologies of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, learn a little bit of Python enough to be able to write your own ML code, use TensorFlow to build productionized models.

Working with AI
Author: Thomas H. Davenport
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262371197
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Two management and technology experts show that AI is not a job destroyer, exploring worker-AI collaboration in real-world work settings. This book breaks through both the hype and the doom-and-gloom surrounding automation and the deployment of artificial intelligence-enabled—“smart”—systems at work. Management and technology experts Thomas Davenport and Steven Miller show that, contrary to widespread predictions, prescriptions, and denunciations, AI is not primarily a job destroyer. Rather, AI changes the way we work—by taking over some tasks but not entire jobs, freeing people to do other, more important and more challenging work. By offering detailed, real-world case studies of AI-augmented jobs in settings that range from finance to the factory floor, Davenport and Miller also show that AI in the workplace is not the stuff of futuristic speculation. It is happening now to many companies and workers. These cases include a digital system for life insurance underwriting that analyzes applications and third-party data in real time, allowing human underwriters to focus on more complex cases; an intelligent telemedicine platform with a chat-based interface; a machine learning-system that identifies impending train maintenance issues by analyzing diesel fuel samples; and Flippy, a robotic assistant for fast food preparation. For each one, Davenport and Miller describe in detail the work context for the system, interviewing job incumbents, managers, and technology vendors. Short “insight” chapters draw out common themes and consider the implications of human collaboration with smart systems.

The AI Advantage
Author: Thomas H. Davenport
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262538008
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
Cutting through the hype, a practical guide to using artificial intelligence for business benefits and competitive advantage. In The AI Advantage, Thomas Davenport offers a guide to using artificial intelligence in business. He describes what technologies are available and how companies can use them for business benefits and competitive advantage. He cuts through the hype of the AI craze—remember when it seemed plausible that IBM's Watson could cure cancer?—to explain how businesses can put artificial intelligence to work now, in the real world. His key recommendation: don't go for the “moonshot” (curing cancer, or synthesizing all investment knowledge); look for the “low-hanging fruit” to make your company more efficient. Davenport explains that the business value AI offers is solid rather than sexy or splashy. AI will improve products and processes and make decisions better informed—important but largely invisible tasks. AI technologies won't replace human workers but augment their capabilities, with smart machines to work alongside smart people. AI can automate structured and repetitive work; provide extensive analysis of data through machine learning (“analytics on steroids”), and engage with customers and employees via chatbots and intelligent agents. Companies should experiment with these technologies and develop their own expertise. Davenport describes the major AI technologies and explains how they are being used, reports on the AI work done by large commercial enterprises like Amazon and Google, and outlines strategies and steps to becoming a cognitive corporation. This book provides an invaluable guide to the real-world future of business AI. A book in the Management on the Cutting Edge series, published in cooperation with MIT Sloan Management Review.
