Master Powerful Off-the-Shelf Business Solutions for AI and Machine Learning
Pragmatic AIÂ will help you solve real-world problems with contemporary machine learning, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing tools. Noah Gift demystifies all the concepts and tools you need to get results–even if you don’t have a strong background in math or data science.
Gift illuminates powerful off-the-shelf cloud offerings from Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, and demonstrates proven techniques using the Python data science ecosystem. His workflows and examples help you streamline and simplify every step, from deployment to production, and build exceptionally scalable solutions. As you learn how machine language (ML) solutions work, you’ll gain a more intuitive understanding of what you can achieve with them and how to maximize their value.
Building on these fundamentals, you’ll walk step-by-step through building cloud-based AI/ML applications to address realistic issues in sports marketing, project management, product pricing, real estate, and beyond. Whether you’re a business professional, decision-maker, student, or programmer, Gift’s expert guidance and wide-ranging case studies will prepare you to solve data science problems in virtually any environment.

Although most of the information you can research yourself online (as some commenters have noted) getting this book will save you DAYS if not WEEKS of clicking arround and googling how to do something and messing up. For that alone is worth 10x the price for me.
The explanations are clear and very easy to follow, at least for me. I have not stopped referring back to the book since I got it. It is a lot easier than going down the google rabbit hole, for what I need to do at work. You do need some experience coding and messing around with AI to get some of the concepts.
Although the information may seem scattered, it is not actually, there are no transitions between explaining different platforms. That’s all! . Which is great! I don’t want to be reading fluff, just tell me what I need to know to get going.
Overall I’m happy to have this resource.
