Artificial Intelligence for Business Optimization

Bhuvan Unhelkar's guide shows how artificial intelligence and machine learning can be put to work on business problems, sharpening decision-making and generating customer value and profit. Rather than treating AI as a standalone tool, it links the technology to strategy, business process modeling, quality assurance, cybersecurity, governance and big data, looking at how functions, processes and human behavior interact so that optimization is approached as a whole.

The book is built around worked examples meant to make its concepts concrete and easier to apply to real situations. It speaks to consultants, senior executives and decision-makers who face operational problems every day and want a methodical way to adopt AI, machine learning and big data for automation and optimization. Researchers studying industrial uses of AI and advanced students will also find it relevant.
