Critics Review
“Jon Whittle is the ideal coach for any executive looking to navigate the AI revolution. He did his PhD in AI in the 1990s, applied it at NASA in critical projects in the 2000s and has gone on to executive leadership roles in education and science. His mixture of deep knowledge with pragmatic management expertise means that AI for Business is exactly that, an AI manual for any business leader looking to cut through the hype and find a way to realise the potential of this technology.” – Robet Hillard * Consulting Businesses Leader, Deloitte Asia Pacific *
“Many leaders will try to use AI to cut costs, and this can be very effective in improving profitability, but you can’t cut your way to success or growth. Jon’s book teaches how to make AI a collaborator. Whether you’re a CEO, Chairman, Manager, Scientist, or student you should be embarking on your own personal AI revolution but read this book before it’s too late.” – Dr Larry Marshall * former Chief Executive of CSIRO *
“One of the book’s strengths is its focus on ethical and sustainable Al use, including environmental impact and cybersecurity implications. Al for Business is for the curious leader who wants to understand not just how to use Al, but why it should be used at all. It’s equally valuable for readers who wish to better understand and use Al responsibly in their personal lives.” – Jess Lomas * Books+Publishing *
