Thinking With Machines: The Brave New World of AI by Vasant Dhar.
Vasant holds a BA Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology and an MS and PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Pittsburgh. He previously worked at Morgan Stanley, where he created the Data Mining Group focused on predicting financial markets and customer behavior.
He founded SCT Capital Management, one of the first machine?learning?based, automated hedge funds bringing predictive modeling and AI directly into real?world trading. Today Vasant is a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business and also a professor at NYU’s Center for Data Science.
Thinking With Machines is one of the useful books on AI that I have read recently. Vasant is sharing with the reader not just what AI is, but how we can make decisions in today’s world that is now shaped by intelligent machines.
He succeeds delivering a practical guide for anyone trying to figure out when to trust AI—and when not to and insist on human judgment.
