Are you interested in learning about artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)? Have you wondered how these amazing fields can help you or your business? Artificial intelligence and machine learning are helping people and businesses achieve key goals, obtain actionable insights, drive critical decisions, and create exciting, new, and innovative products and services. Author Simon Sinek, in his highly influential book Start With Why, does an excellent job of explaining that the why should be the most important driving force behind virtually everything. This definitely applies to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning as well, and so understanding and describing why these fields should be used for a given need is critical, and then should be followed by how they're used (e.g., processes, algorithms, data scientists), and lastly by what is produced as a result (e.g., product, service, recommendation engine, smart assistant).
