Acknowledgments
I feel extremely lucky to work in a field that is so innovative and fast moving and I feel privileged that I am able to work with companies and government organizations across all sectors and industries on new and better ways to use artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver real value – this work allows me to learn every day and a book like this wouldn't have been possible without it.
I would like to acknowledge the many people who have helped me get to where I am today. All the great individuals in the companies I have worked with who put their trust in me to help them and in return gave me so much new knowledge and experience. I must also thank everyone who has shared their thinking with me, either in person, blog posts, books or any other formats. Thank you for generously sharing all the material I absorb every day! I am also lucky enough to personally know many of the key thinkers and thought leaders in the field of AI and I hope you all know how much I value your inputs and our exchanges.
I would like to thank my research lead Matt Ward for his valuable contribution to this book, as well as my editorial and publishing team for all your help and support. Taking any book from idea to publication is a team effort and I really appreciate your input and help – thank you Annie Knight, Vicki Adang and Julie Kerr.
My biggest acknowledgment goes to my wife, Claire, and our three children, Sophia, James and Oliver, for giving me the inspiration and space to do what I love: learning and sharing ideas that will make our world a better place.
