Learn from an expert who regularly presents on the topic for the UN and was involved in IBM’s Watson project. The authors weave recognizable historical events showcasing the development of AI throughout their discussion of what it is and why it should matter to everyone. This is a book that will help the layman understand the impact of AI on every facet of our lives and facilitate the potential we have in harnessing AI for our own benefit.

This book was a wonderful introduction to artificial intelligence for someone just exploring the subject like me. I particularly appreciated the guidance of how to begin the journey of using AI in one’s business while providing insights into what AI could be. The potential for improvements in a variety of fields was explored through the interviews with numerous thought leaders besides the authors.I would recommend this book to anyone, whether of a technical or business orientation, who wants to gain a basic understanding of how AI can impact their business, their world, and their life.

Reading "Own the A.I. Revolution: Unlock Your Artificial Intelligence Strategy to Disrupt Your Competition" by Neil Sahota and Michael Ashley. It is a business book first and foremost so if one is looking for the impact on humanity, it doesn't really go that deep into even in the chapter that it is ostensibly focused on. Half the book is about AI in the workplace and the other half of the book is a collection of interviews with "Thought Leaders on AI" and that section is just as depressing. If I were honest, I'd give this book a 1 on how depressing it is but that wouldn't be fair. It is informative and useful in seeing what business and thought leaders are thinking. But I found it depressing to read.

Neil Sahota and Michael Ashley offer a very easy way to understand the disrupting changes brought by artificial intelligence and machine learning, and how every industry can benefit from it. The book cites examples of transformation when being prepared and unprepared for the change of disruptive technologies. For people wanting to know more about what A.I. is about, this is a must. The second part of the book, that includes conversations with business leaders and their approach to A.I., it is enlightening and could serve as a playbook for others wanting to incorporate A.I., or facing its challenges in their fields or work.

My background is non-technical and the complexity of AI can make it difficult to get started and cut through all the noise and buzz that is out there. This book makes it easy to navigate through the deeper layers of AI through actionable insights from world-leading experts and practical case studies to make the knowledge applicable in a business context. What I appreciated, in addition, is that philosophical and ethical questions were touched in a way that reading was always very enjoyable.
