Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Business: A No-Nonsense Guide to Data Driven Technologies

Chatbots such as the infamous ChatGPT, robotic warehouses, computerized call centres and patient diagnosis. These are just a few of the areas where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning are being used to boost revenues, cut costs, save lives and improve customer experiences. As a result, organizations that understand these tools and know how to use them are benefiting at the expense of their rivals.

This book cuts through the hype and technical jargon that one often finds when discussing AI and Machine Learning. It delivers a short, concise and non-technical guide for managers and business people. The focus is very much on practical application and how to work with technical specialists (data scientists) to maximize the benefits that these technologies can deliver.

This new fourth edition has been fully updated and revised, yet retains the no-nonsense style of the original.
