Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

In the past few years, a number of well-known firms have failed; think of Blockbuster, Kodak, or RadioShack. When we hear about their demise, it often seems inevitable - a natural part of "creative destruction." But closer examination reveals a disturbing truth: Companies large and small are shuttering more quickly than ever. What does it take to buck this trend? The simple answer is: ambidexterity. Firms must remain competitive in their core markets, while also winning in new domains.

Story
As venture capitalist Alexandre Lazarow shows in this insightful and instructive book, this Silicon Valley "gospel" is due for a refresh - and it comes from what he calls the "frontier", the growing constellation of startup ecosystems, outside of the Valley and other major economic centers, that now stretches across the globe. The frontier is a truly different world where startups often must cope with political or economic instability and lack of infrastructure, and where there might be little or no access to angel investors, venture capitalists, or experienced employee pools.

Story
In this sharp and controversial international best seller, an award-winning economist debunks the pervasive myth that the government is sluggish and inept, and at odds with a dynamic private sector. She reveals in detailed case studies that the opposite is true: The state is, and has been, our boldest and most valuable innovator. Denying this history is leading us down the wrong path. A select few get credit for what is an intensely collective effort, and the US government has started disinvesting from innovation.

How can great companies do everything right - identify real customer needs, deliver excellent innovations, beat their competitors to market - and still fail? The sad truth is that many companies fail because they focus too intensely on their own innovations, and then neglect the innovation ecosystems on which their success depends. In our increasingly interdependent world, winning requires more than just delivering on your own promises. It means ensuring that a host of partners - some visible, some hidden - deliver on their promises, too.

The Most Immoral Book of the Modern Era
Data has positives and negatives. Revolution is an appropriate word, since it highlights that there are drawbacks. But this book subverts the drawbacks and lauds data and AI with every chance it gets, overlooking the fact that data and AI is used for evil. They want every piece of data possible so they can make money and keep it. By wanting privacy or not wanting to subject yourself to algorithms that are built to ruin lives, you’re evil in their eyes. They straight up defend companies not paying taxes and just say that they should use algorithms better so that they don’t get caught or so they can avoid the media storm. Like it’s so sad how much they love money and don’t care about humanity.
Basically reads like a “Hey, you’re a money grubbing manager or business owner, right? Well this how you can use surveillance of consumers to get richer.” Replace the word with data in this book for surveillance and you’ll see how evil these authors are. All they care about is data and business survival. Quite sad. They ignore monopolies on data and don’t care that the big companies are using their data control to destroy capitalism. Are Facebook or Google really going to share their data? No, they’re going to sell it or keep it for themselves. Clearly these authors don’t care about that at all either.
Google and Facebook are heroes and Snowden is a bad bad man for wanting privacy because the data collection was good. It did good. You don’t like data? You’re just an idiot who doesn’t realize the good it did. Like seriously. What the heck did I just listen to?
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
