Artificial Intelligence: The Promise and the Playbook – Andreessen Horowitz

We've met with hundreds of Fortune 500/ Global 2000 companies, startups, and government agencies asking: "How do I get started with artificial intelligence?" While there are many excellent tutorials out there that show how to use TensorFlow or the beautiful math behind neural network training, we couldn't find a broad overview -- a "Chapter 0", if you will -- for product managers, line of business leaders, strategists, policymakers, non-AI developers to read first before moving on to more technical materials. So building on our popular primer on artificial intelligence, today we've launched a microsite to help newcomers -- both non-technical and technical -- begin exploring what's possible with AI. The site is designed as a resource for anyone asking the two questions above, complete with examples and sample code to help get started; no computer science degree required! Ultimately, it's aimed at people who aren't only studying AI in universities or labs and just want to get their hands and heads around it as they explore options for their own companies. Along those lines, I've also published a new presentation about the promise of AI, beyond the hype.
