Recenzje

"Every chief executive must be thinking about how to apply AI to their company. But, lacking the necessary knowledge, they don't know how to start. This book comes to the rescue. It uses real-life cases to explain how AI can help businesses. ... This book aims to introduce AI to marketers who do not have a data science or AI degree." (R. S. Chang, Computing Reviews, March 10, 2020)
