One of the best books I've read lately is Principles of Data Science - Third Edition.
It's a good introduction to data science / AI and I recommend it to technical leaders/managers/executives interested in better understanding the topic and data scientists at the start of their career.
You will find out more about the basics of data science, data, mathematics, statistics, machine learning, transfer learning, governance, and more.
It was a great read.
-- In case you are wondering, I vote: * 5 stars for books anyone, anywhere should read * 4 stars for books that anyone interested in the topic should read * 3 stars for books that might be a good read if you are interested in the topic
