Misconceptions about AI's capabilities and the role of data are everywhere. Many believe AI is a singular, all-knowing entity, when in reality, it's a collection of algorithms producing intelligence-like outputs. Navigating and understanding the history and evolution of AI, from its origins to today's advanced language models is crucial. How do these developments, and misconceptions, impact your daily work? Are you leveraging the right tools for your needs, or are you caught up in the allure of cutting-edge technology without considering its practical application?
Andriy Burkov is the author of three widely recognized books, The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book, The Machine Learning Engineering Book, and recently The Hundred-Page Language Models book. His books have been translated into a dozen languages and are used as textbooks in many universities worldwide. His work has impacted millions of machine learning practitioners and researchers. He holds a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence and is a recognized expert in machine learning and natural language processing. As a machine learning expert and leader, Andriy has successfully led dozens of production-grade AI projects in different business domains at Fujitsu and Gartner.
