Interesante, pero se vuelve monótono: una larga letanía de como cada empresa ha aplicado la inteligencia artificial, exactamente lo que promete el título.

Publicado en 2019, seguramente era "state of the art" al momento de su publicación, pero hoy suena un poco desactualizado. El cambio en IA es muy acelerado.

Y son empresas grandes, que no arrojan demasiadas luces sobre que pueden hacer pequeñas empresas, empresas familiares, que es más mi área de interés.

En todo caso, recomendaría ir directamente a los capítulos del tipo de empresa que a cada quien le llame la atención o le interese.

Really interesting account on how many different companies are putting AI technology in practice. Fascinating.

Gives a good layperson overview of the state of the industry right now and how it is being applied to multiple industries.

Does not go into technical aspects at all and is a more journalistic approach for the common person.

It's very suitable for person who have just started with AI. It don't include too much aspects of deep major and very easy to understand and to know. Apart from that, this consists of many interesting story about AI and giants in AI( GG, Micorsolf, ALibaba...and more and more-which are very attractive and not boring (like me think before). In conclusion, I think it is very helpful special in this time when AI become a main part of 4.0 revolution

It’s interesting but a bit same-y.

I think the book I was really looking for was more an overall view of:

- this is what Big Data can be used for, like these companies;

- this is how your Big Data system can be set up, like these companies;

- these are the KPIs you should be using to measure the effectiveness of your Big Data project, like these companies

- etc.

Perhaps useful for someone still needing convincing that their industry is being impacted by AI. The book doesn’t tell a story about AI but provides 50 brief case studies from across industries to give a flavor of the breadth of possibilities and challenges.
