How to Make AI Useful

There’s a spectre haunting the world, and that spectre is artificial intelligence (AI). There are a lot of people talking about extreme scenarios and cool future applications and dropping names and acronyms to make the rest of us feel that we don’t belong in the AI community. So, this is a book for you.

 It’s not a practical manual, a concept that would surely be outdated when the book is published given the flourishing of applications and websites that offer cool new AI tricks. It’s an overview of AI as a concept. What will it enable you to do, as a business leader, in politics and organizations, and as an ordinary human being who just seeks wealth and happiness? The book will enable you to understand things on a broad level and formulate your own more prescient questions than what the AI extremists offer. In other words, how can I make AI useful in my own life and work?
