商品描述

The field of artificial intelligence, data science, and analytics is crippling itself. Exaggerated promises of unrealistic technologies, simplifications of complex projects, and marketing hype are leading to an erosion of trust in one of our most critical approaches to making decisions: data driven.

This book aims to fix this by countering the AI hype with a dose of realism. Written by two experts in the field, the authors firmly believe in the power of mathematics, computing, and analytics, but if false expectations are set and practitioners and leaders don't fully understand everything that really goes into data science projects, then a stunning 80% (or more) of analytics projects will continue to fail, costing enterprises and society hundreds of billions of dollars, and leading to non-experts abandoning one of the most important data-driven decision-making capabilities altogether.

For the first time, business leaders, practitioners, students, and interested laypeople will learn what really makes a data science project successful. By illustrating with many personal stories, the authors reveal the harsh realities of implementing AI and analytics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

人工智慧、數據科學和分析領域正自我削弱。對不切實際技術的誇大承諾、對複雜專案的簡化以及市場行銷的炒作,導致了對我們最關鍵的決策方法之一——數據驅動的信任侵蝕。

本書旨在通過現實的觀點來對抗人工智慧的炒作。這本書由兩位該領域的專家撰寫,作者堅信數學、計算和分析的力量,但如果設置了錯誤的期望,並且從業者和領導者未能充分理解數據科學專案中真正涉及的所有內容,那麼驚人的80%(或更多)的分析專案將繼續失敗,這將使企業和社會損失數千億美元,並導致非專家完全放棄這一最重要的數據驅動決策能力。

這是商業領導者、從業者、學生和有興趣的外行人第一次了解什麼才是真正使數據科學專案成功的因素。通過許多個人故事的闡述,作者揭示了實施人工智慧和分析的殘酷現實。
