Dr. Nisha Talagala is a world-renowned computer scientist and an expert in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The inspiration to write this book started with her experiences sharing the power of AI technology with her then 9 year old daughter. She found that there were not many resources available for kids to learn and interact with AIs in a way that is engaging and not intimidating. She found that, with the right tools and approach, kids can learn AI, become empowered, and create amazing innovations. Just like computer science and coding is an integral part of learning today, AI is required learning for all the professionals of tomorrow.

Businesses across the world are hiring data scientists to beef up their efficiency and competitiveness via artificial intelligence (AI). Startup companies (dubbed AI-First companies) are disrupting traditional industries like banking, insurance, real estate and healthcare using AI technologies. The demand for data scientists far exceeds supply. And, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that the data scientist profession is itself splitting into multiple sub-disciplines. Regardless of which of these skill-sets are needed, businesses face a common problem when trying to monetize successful AI experiments.
