Fantastic work by Malay A. Upadhyay. Artificial Intelligence for Managers : Leverage the power of AI to transform Organisations and Reshape your career.This book is in simple language without any code snippets because as author cleared in the title that book is for managers to understand AI Journey , various AI techniques and risks.Book title is quite intriguing and comprised of 3 Sections covering 10 Chapters and having wonderful example of Maya's robot 🤖 referred from first chapter till end of the book for conceptual clarity.I do realised that this title is must for all managers whose role is just not to manage the teams activities but to make informed decisions , choose the right data , prepare the mindset of resources within team to accept and get the results out of AI solutions.Author already described various existing AI enabled tools , applications. Also , make clear by giving options like Build AI solutions , Buy AI solutions on basis of the need , data , existing resource capabilities and requirements of the organization.Moreover as mentioned in the book - managers don't need to learn code to use and understand AI. ML , NPL , Deep learning concepts are described with help of use cases.Each chapter is concluded and followed by Question and Answers to check the understanding of various use cases , techniques and concepts. Reference of Youtube videos , pictures and quotes could helpful for understanding and keeping subject intresting.Technology brings some risks and accordingly benefits and responsibilities on decision makers , managers , end users and sponsors so AI is no risk proof. So benefits, risks are honestly mentioned.Here is quote available in book : No army can stop an idea whose time has come - Victor HugoI would recommend this book to everyone to understand AI in simplistic approach.

A well written and coherently organized book for people looking to get into AI.What I absolutely loved was how everything was so structured. The language is easy follow with relevant graphs and diagrams. The questions at the end of each chapter makes it a perfect self learning material.My favourite part is actually the beginning itself where the author in very simple everyday example explains AI. That itself sets the tone of the book - informative but not too heavy.Just a teeny tiny thing that I didn't like is that one of it's strength itself which becomes a problem i.e the structure. Yes the text is well structured but in few places it is so differentiated that becomes a little difficult to follow (or maybe just for me!).But other than that it's a wholesome read. Definitely recommend.

Lots of books are available for the given subject but the way concepts are explained by the author in this one is different. What makes it unique is the simplicity and clarity with which things are explained. I grew fond of Maya’s robot in particular.Each chapter is concluded properly in the end followed by self-check questionnaire. Overall, it is a comprehensive beginner’s guide to AI starting with Fundamentals till the Risk Management. Liked the book :)
