2023 was the third and so far, hottest summer of artificial intelligence. But what should developers and businesses do? Is it worth cutting back on people and fully trusting the new technology? Or is it all alluvial, and we are waiting for a new AI winter? And how will AI be combined with classic management tools and practices, managing projects, products, and business processes? Does AI break all the rules of the game?
We will delve into these questions, and in the process of thinking and analyzing various factors, I will try to find answers to them.
I will say right away, there will be a minimum of technical information here. And even more so, there may be technical inaccuracies. But this book is not about what type of neural networks to choose for solving a particular problem. I offer you an analyst’s, manager’s, and entrepreneur’s perspective on what’s happening here and now, what to expect globally in the near future, and what to prepare for.
Who can use this book and what can it be useful for?
– Owner and top manager of am companies.
They will understand what AI is, how it works, where trends are going, and what to expect. In other words, they will be able to avoid the main mistake in digitalization – distorted expectations. This means, that they will be able to lead these areas, minimize costs, risks and deadlines.
– IT entrepreneur and founder of startups.
They will be able to understand where the industry is moving, what IT products and integrations should be developed, and what you will have to face in practice.
– IT specialist.
They will be able to look at the issue of development not only from a technical point of view, but also from an economic, and managerial point of view. They will understand why up to 90% of AI products remain unclaimed. Perhaps this will help them in their career development.
– Ordinary people.
They will understand what the future holds for them and whether they should be afraid that AI will replace them. Spoiler alert: creative professionals are under threat.
Our journey will go through 3 major parts.
– First, we will dive in and understand, what AI is, how it all started, what problems and opportunities it has, what trends are developing, and what the future holds for us.
– Next, we’ll look at the synergy of AI with systems-based tools. How they affect each other, in what scenarios AI will be applied in IT solutions.
– At the end, we will go through almost all examples and give recommendations.
In my favorite tradition, the book will contain QR-codes (for the printed version) and active hyperlinks (for the electronic version) to useful articles and interesting materials.
As for the AI itself, it was used in the writing of the book to demonstrate its work, and these fragments are highlighted, as well as to search for ideas. The level of technology is still not enough to take materials and insert them into a book. It is also important to note that my main language is Russian, so I will make all requests to the AI in Russian.
I would like to conclude my preface by thanking the people who helped me:
– to my wife Alisa and son Valery;
– to my parents;
– to my coach Evgeny Bazhov;
– my team, especially Alexander Peremyshlin;
– to my partners and clients who have given me time to think, especially Kirill Neyelov;
– to my project colleagues.
P.S. This book has been translated from my native language using artificial intelligence. Therefore, there may be grammatical and other errors
