Each term is arranged alphabetically, making it easy to find, with a formal definition, then a simple jargon-free explanation, and then a real-life example.

Just what I was looking for This useful guide really helps build a solid understanding of the underlying aspects of the AI revolution. It's easy to think that anything clever is 'AI', but knowing the difference between Big Data, Machine Learning, and generative AI, and how and when to use them is essential knowledge for any business user.The book is clear and concise, with plenty of examples. A must have companion for the modern business leader!

Useful analogies to explain A.I to leaders Every Board member has a different lens to view A.I. From finance to supply chain, commercial to CEO. Reading this book I was able to cherry pick those areas which would be useful in conversations at these leadership levels. Analogies that could align these different viewpoints. A simple read, but one every project manager looking to leverage A.I should read.

Fantastic. Definitely 5* Very quick and easy read that made sense of this much hyped and little understood area. AI will transform everything and so its important that people understand the basics of what it is, how it works, the benefits it can bring and the areas to look out for. This helpful book that is very quick to read will give you a good basic level of understanding.Great for CEOs and others who might not necessarily be very technical, have little spare time and short attention spans.

Makes AI interesting, enjoyable and relevant Not only does this short and easy read do exactly what it says on the cover, it's an enjoyable introduction to how AI is integrated into all aspects of life and business. I read and re-read it within the same week, as the examples are diverse and fascinating, and the explanations are non-technical without patronising the reader. It also serves as an easy reference, given how it's structured alphabetically, and I feel it's the first time I've read something explaining AI that has made me more interested and less fearful (of both my ignorance and the implications). I would highly recommend.
