Practical Artificial Intelligence in the Cloud – Book Review

Artificial Intelligence is, depending on whom you ask, the hottest new thing in tech or the latest fad that will fade away just like all the others did before it. However, based on its enormous success over the fast five years, and its undeniable and quite realistic promise, it is hard to imagine AI not penetrating and reshaping all industries in the upcoming years. The really big question is how exactly will AI impact the industries, and what sorts of businesses and solutions are the most likely to bring the AI to the masses. This short book makes a strong case that the marriage of AI and cloud computing, another popular tech paradigm these days, has the best chance of creating the biggest impact in the foreseeable future. Training and maintaining AI models can be extremely computationally intensive, and the amount of data required for such solution is oftentimes beyond reach of most users and companies.
