“Much has been written about the mechanics of modern AI – what it is, what it isn’t, and
how to build and train one – but this fascinating book is among the few that explain what
it means for the enterprise – where it fits in to business needs, how it can be integrated into
existing systems, and how it can create opportunities for new value.”
—Grady Booch, IBM Fellow, Chief Scientist for Software Engineering
“I recommend Beyond Algorithms: Delivering AI for Business to anyone that is responsible
for leading and transitioning AI to achieve and maintain a competitive advantage. The book
addresses many of the important issues faced in the application of AI to businesses. It is
written in an easy-to-read style, while providing enough technical content that many people
working in the field can capture the main messages.”
—David R. Martinez, MIT Instructor and Laboratory Fellow
“Books about AI too often tend towards the extremes – either praising or condemning
unconditionally. Beyond Algorithms offers a more nuanced, nontechnical introduction from
experienced practitioners. Filled with guiding principles and real-world examples, this book
offers a balanced view of AI’s strengths and limitations and provides practical advice for
problem selection, project management, and expectation setting for AI initiatives.”
—Emily Riederer, Senior Analytics Manager at Capital One
“Beyond Algorithms is one of those wonderful story-driven IT books that distils decades
worth of real-world experience into intoxicating wisdom that is refreshingly easy to
consume. The book plows through and around the hype of the ‘all powerful’ deep neural
nets to provide an engineering approach for the field. It won’t tell you how to establish the Singularity, but its ‘A to I checklist’, accuracy and monitoring advice, and ‘doability method’ could make you an AI delivery hero.”
