About this ebook

In the business world, the very term artificial intelligence (AI) is shrouded in mystery. For some, it’s the brains behind a robotic apocalypse. For others, it provides hope for a better society with self-driving cars, food security, and medical breakthroughs. But what about for businesses? For most executives , the term “AI” is vague, confusing, and although intriguing, it seems unapproachable.
