Generative AI in Practice: 100+ Amazing Ways Generative Artificial Intelligence is Changing Business and Society by Bernard Marr

He holds degrees in business, engineering and information technology from the University of Cambridge and Cranfield School of Management. He has written several books and two that I have read include his 2015 release Big Data Using smart big data and his recent book Artificial Intelligence in Practice. That said, this book falls short. I feel this was a rushed effort to get into the Generative AI hype cycle.

So here, Bernard is focusing on Generative AI as the biggest advancement in technology in the history of the world and how ChatGPT is driving this new somewhat magic service. Actually the metrics seem to confirm: 10 million users within 30 days of launch and then a stunning 100 million within the next 60 days. Simply put, the fastest adoption of technology in the history of computing. But don’t forget the cost Bernard.

In the rush for all things Generative AI, this new subset of Machine Learning is driving the AI hype cycle even higher than many would conclude possible. Generative AI can of course create visual graphics, computer code, and music. Seems to be the ‘generative’ in Generative AI.

Today, Bernard also enjoys teaching for Oxford University, Warwick Business School, the Irish Management Institute, and the and Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. He is also a contributor to Forbes. Bernard is focusing on strategy, business performance, digital transformations, and AI.

Bernard has written 20 books having been recognized with the 2022 Business Book of the Year award, the CMI Management Book of the Year award, the Axiom book award and the WHSmith best business book award. I enjoyed reading one of his previous books, Big Data: Using smart big data analytics and metrics to make better decisions and improve performance.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are continuing to be cited as the most important trend in society today.

Big Data Using smart big data analytics and metrics to make better decisions and improve performanceRead just one ‘big data’ book and  you’ve read them all right? Not so fast. Big Data: smart big data analytics reveals how a well planned understanding of your business can better embrace select data sets for your company, organization or school to not only remain competitive but thrive in the new global economy.

For all of the Big Data blogs, books and white papers that I have read Big Data – smart big data analytics by Bernard Marr is one of the better written books. Many will benefit from this knowledge.

FUD is Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt.
