How to Read This Book
ОглавлениеChapter 1 tears down seven widely repeated myths about AI. If we keep our heads, then we will master AI as we have all technologies that have emerged in human history. We are fools if we let it master us. In the same chapter, we present seven clear, key ideas about AI that will keep us straight on the path toward profitable AI implementation and proper AI governance.
Chapter 2 explains the science behind AI in plain English. I will show you what it can—and cannot—do for your organization.
Chapter 3 will show you how to acquire AI technology at a reasonable cost and how it can be used to attain higher profits. Here you will see how AI can benefit pretty much every sector of the economy.
In chapter 4 you will learn how to estimate and control the costs of implementing AI. There is absolutely no point in adopting a new technology, in investing in it, unless it will make your organization more profitable and/or cost-effective. Every change entails risk, just like sitting there and doing nothing! Finance and tech have to work together to achieve AI success. Government organizations may not feel pressure to generate profit, but they sure can benefit the taxpayers by providing more—and better—for less.
In chapter 5 Joshua will address the platform you need to govern your data in an AI system. Your organization’s data is one of your most valuable assets! You will learn the EDEN method to keep your garden green and growing. We’ll say it again: AI without good data is a waste of time and money.
Chapter 6 lays out case studies about AI and legal controls. The law is your friend, not your enemy. Law is messy and imprecise, but in democracies it is the best way to curb abuses and guarantee personal freedoms. This chapter gives directions on how best to govern AI systems across the economy for the good of the state and society.
The afterword provides you with a simple, clear, workable ethical framework that can be applied to almost any organization where people work with data and automated systems.
So, if you want to wait for a future of perfect freedom, no restraints, and universal prosperity, you could waste your time and money on singularity science fiction, but we sincerely advise against it. AI is a very real technological advancement, and once achieved, these never go away. The future of your business and of our shared democratic, capitalist system requires your full attention to AI right now.
