In this book, Dr. Alok Aggarwal - one of the early innovators and developers in this field - sets out to demystify Artificial Intelligence by explaining the science and engineering in non-technical terms we can all understand. With very little math and no software code, this book provides crucial information for the following, primary audiences: Product managers, program leaders, business leaders, consultants, and investment managers who may not need to understand the minute details of AI systems but should have sufficient knowledge to discuss with clients and technology teams, thereby improving business processes. Students, especially graduate students in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, analytics, business administration, financial engineering, and related disciplines. Aspiring entrepreneurs and decision-makers who will be ideally suited to exploit these inventions almost immediately. This book explains numerous applications of AI that are already being used in other vital inventions of the current and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including the Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchains, Metaverse, Robotics, Autonomous Vehicles, Three-Dimensional Printing, inventions related to predicting, mitigating, and adapting to rapid climate change, and innovations related to gene editing, protein folding, and personalized healthcare.
