Power and Prediction is a combined effort of authors Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans, and Avi Goldfarb. The authors dive into what AI future holds in every aspect of our lives. How will AI change where you work, what you drive, what you eat, your social life, and your medical? They cover many aspects so you can be prepared. I found they did not sugarcoat their predictions. You understand the possibilities of mistakes and miscalculations of the programmers.

I found Power and Prediction informative yet practical. The authors wrote at a level everyone could understand, but experts in this area may find it too simple for their liking. This book is a spin-off of their previous bestseller, Prediction Machines. I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to prepare themselves for what the future could hold in AI and what direction their business could be taking.… (meer)

This book, and other books written by these authors on AI and its economic impact, are essential if you’re interested in the field. Even in the preface, they prove they are the experts as they list off other big businesses and organizations that consider them the authority on the topic. The amount of study, effort, and thought that has gone into compiling this catapults it above most books about AI and business integration of AI.

In examples they provide, such as in the opening chapter, The Between Times, they easily draw parallels to the content. This is great, so even the casual person interested in the topic can read with little effort. The writing doesn’t distance itself from the layperson as you might expect. The most significant benefit is for small and large entrepreneurs and how AI can ultimately benefit them. This is a book to check out if you’re even remotely interested in AI and how it’s shaping our interactions in business.… (meer)

This has been a fascinating book about artificial intelligence (AI) and how it has impacted our lives and how it could change things in the years to come. Three economists, Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans, and Avi Goldfarb, wrote this book to help others learn just how much of a game changer AI will be. The authors compare AI’s impact and potential changes to electricity, calling it “the new electricity.” AI has the potential to transform every industry and create huge economic benefits. The way things are done changes with AI which in turn shifts power. This book is full of examples and practical advice to help companies and people learn how to incorporate AI into their lives and work. The authors explain the relationship between AI and power and prediction. A very informative book!… (meer)
