" As a human, perpetual student, husband, father (read Chapter 6 three times) and Business Technologist storyteller, this is by far one of the best books I've ever digested.

My favorite quote: "Words are momentary; intent is momentous."

What a 140 page masterpiece Phaedra Boinodiris & Beth Rudden! Anxious to read your next one  "

"Above all else, the reader gains an awareness that we must all be involved in the creation of AI because it represents the forging of our future. Furthermore, the authors illuminate the social and political powers at play, and postures the rise of AI as a material inflection point for humanity. In closing, this book bestowed onto me a renewed (and refreshingly positive) perspective on the future of humanity and technology. "

 I was privileged enough to see Phaedra speak in person. When Phaedra mentioned she had a new book, I immediately ordered it.

Everyone who wants to understand what responsible, trustworthy, and transparent AI should look like needs to read this book.

An engaging read, highly recommended. 

 How did these two ladies manage to explain the very serious issues facing all of us today with AI with simple straightforward language? Given the publicity and rush to develop apps just in case "they miss the boat", large corporations and start-ups alike, it has become clear that there is great danger and harm that can be done in the process.

This book explains in a very simple and understandable way, what the real issues are with today's direction, and even more important it offers viable and executable solutions. Will the industry focus on that? It remains to be seen.

Clearly, governments worldwide are attempting to address how to control generative AI, to ensure the results are correct and do not infringe on people's rights. The book makes it very clear that the issue is not "technical". It requires cultural change, with multidisciplinary people at the "table", makings decisions and addressing the direction of the design of the apps, which is very challenging in today's environment when the quarterly profits overshadow the long-term investment in solutions.

This book made it perfectly clear to me what needs to be done. 

 AI for the Rest of Us pulls back the curtain to illuminate who is and, more importantly, who is not adequately represented behind the scenes of machine learning industry and why this matters for all of us. The authors detail strategies to ensure corporate transparency and accountability for the increasing use of AI in their decision making. The book presents a call to action to ensure that AI training programs are multidisciplinary and multicultural and that AI practices are ethical. 

 AI for the Rest of Us is a marvel because it is accessible to anyone who cares about this topic, as well as practitioners — which is really, really hard to do.
