Artificial intelligence is everywhere these days, from the classroom to the boardroom. AI promises productivity improvements in almost all industries, reshaping careers and affecting the job market and the economy. Yet a disturbing proportion of AI projects fail, with generative AI having major limitations. AI “hallucinations” are common, and modern AIs rely heavily on their training data, which may be of variable or dubious quality, while many companies have simply applied it badly. AI has been used successfully in fields from marketing to graphic design to coding and customer service, but it has also failed badly in situations from flawed court case submissions to insecure code in applications. Its misuse as a therapy substitute has led to suicides and even murder. Figuring out which applications it is suited for, and where it is risky, requires understanding how AI really works.
“Beyond the Hype – A Realist’s Guide to AI” is your handbook to navigate this confusing world. Whether you are an executive, project manager or are simply curious about the real state of artificial intelligence today, this book will help you make smarter decisions. It is a roadmap to help you navigate the AI revolution.
