I appreciate the layman’s terms
I must admit that AI is awesome, and it has already transformed our personal lives as well as our professional lives. I agree with the author that we need to “be realistic about its limitations and risks”.
The author discusses many key points about AI that are very important for any business, such as proprietary data. Proprietary Data is a must read chapter. The author presents the information in layman’s terms which is something I appreciate. We are all just now learning how to use AI to run our business, or creative endeavors. This book would be great for employee training.
A plus for this book is a link for signing up to the AI Academy and a QR code.

Interesting read on AI
I learned a lot about how AI works and how to apply it in my business. I. Almeida breaks down everything step-by-step, so that it isn’t overwhelming for somebody new to AI like me. The questions at the end of the chapters really helped me to deepen my knowledge. It isn’t always enough to know, you have to be able to explain things and write things out in order to really learn. With the help of this book, I can see how AI can impact my business, but at the same time work alongside humans for creative input.
