I bought this book to help me get a clearer view of scaling AI in corporate environments. Whilst the authors give a very good holistic view of all the elements needed to consider, I found they tended more towards normal BAU operations, recruitment, funding and project management activities needed to implement AI.
Whilst I acknowledge that these are very important to create the ecosystem needed to drive AI change, I found the advice quite basic 101 eg. Be sure to recruit someone with the right skills as this will have an impact on your outcomes.
Whilst the book was a good attempt I found the result somewhat lacking and left me with a few holes eg. Since agility is such a driving force in organisations, I found the section on delivering AI using agile techniques quite lite. I refer to process agility here not business, structural and strategic agility.
That’s said I don’t think there are too many use cases available (besides companies like Uber’s Michaelangelo, Google etc) that have made a success of thinking through and scaling AI within their organisations in an agile manner. I therefore found the MLaaS section and its surrounding commentary the most valuable.
As more and more use cases become available, and Mariya and Adelyne continue to research, I suspect the next revised version will be much more powerful. This version is a good start.

Great introduction for understanding AI’s impact on work & society
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2018
I worked in government for over a decade making policy decisions about environmental protection and public health. I picked up this book because I’ve been curious about how automation and AI will change our society as well as our governance models. While a lot of the book focuses on corporate applications, I did find the sections on ethical AI, defense against malicious uses of AI, collaborative design of AI systems, and reskilling of displaced workers to be very insightful and relevant for improving public service. I also found it useful to understand the concept of “technical debt” and alternatives to accuracy as measures of how well machine learning systems are performing. Overall, I found this book to be a useful introduction and look forward to learning more about the space.
