Artificial intelligence is one of the most promising new developments in technology since the advent of the Internet. But standing in the way of widespread business adoption is a lot of hype and a formidable learning curve and technical pre-requisites to understanding this exciting new technology. How is an everyday businessperson supposed to wrap their heads around such a complicated subject?

Your AI Survival Guide is an insightful and practical take on how to deploy AI in your organization and how to get executives to sign off on your most ambitious--and potentially profitable--AI strategies. Business executive and technologist Sol Rashidi explains exactly how real-world businesses, spanning ten different industries and sectors, have used AI to great effect. She also demonstrates a new and exciting way of thinking about and explaining AI, relying on her first-hand experience as an early adopter of the technology working with some of the world's leading artificial intelligence companies.

Rashidi demystifies the subject of AI in a way that non-technical business leaders and C-suite executives can better comprehend and apply the technology in their own companies. Mercifully free of "tech-speak," Your AI Survival Guide uncomplicates a complex topic with narratives and stories that anyone can understand.

An essential resource for executives, managers, directors, founders, entrepreneurs, and business leaders, this book will earn a prominent place in the libraries of technical and non-technical professionals alike. It's a can't-miss guide for everyone who hopes to understand one of the most exciting new technologies to come along since the world wide web.
