Brief overview, a fair introduction but not much depth
by Darren McBride
A very pragmatic and real world approach. The author really takes the time to highlight business applications for a subject that is going to revolutionise the way we make decisions in all aspects of our life. Don’t get left behind, read it!
by Richard J Kiddle
The book explains all the key concepts clearly and in plain English. The author tells when to use and not use the different machine learning techniques.

This book truly is a masterpiece. The author does a great job of explaining AI in a way that anyone can understand it. Not only that, but he shows how it can be used in a real way. If you want to get a handle on scorecards, decision trees and neural networks then this is a great start. The book can be easily read within a couple of hours and you will finish it knowing a lot more than when you began. I have read quite a few books lately on AI and, although they are all good, this is the one I’d recommend to start with. Very practical and excellent value for money.

Excellent book for a senior management team. I’m CEO at my company and I believe in the benefits of AI and I wanted to introduce AI to the organisation but I was conscious of the fears people have in relation to that. As such I wanted but in from top down management and I bought the whole team this book and gave them two weeks homework to come back with their own thoughts on how AI could benefit their area and the company as a whole. In doing so they owned the ideas and became champions of AI. I selected this book because it is a to hour read and it’s pitched at just the right level of technical detail to give a good appreciation but also to be digestible by non technical members of the team. Great book.
