While we’re all trying to wrap our heads around the potential of AI for our businesses, Adhiguna wrote the guidebook for creating new AI-powered innovations. Thorough, actionable, and instantly relevant; make sure you read AI Startup Strategy before your competitors can get to it.

Key headwinds for humanity that may be remedied with the help of AI include issues of climate change, financial exclusion, and lack of democratization or equalization of opportunities. While it is obvious how economically value accretive AI will be to the various business verticals, one must also be cognizant of AI’s potential pitfalls. AI can be construed as a process of hallucinations that must be shepherded in a multi disciplinary manner as to involve as many non-technologists as possible. This is to prevent the journey forward from becoming dystopian.

“ AI Startup Strategy” is a key tool for all stakeholders concerned, particularly in the developing economies.

 AI is rocking the world of tech and everyone is suddenly interested and excited in relation to its potential impact on business, but what is AI and how can we really harness it to bring about amazing innovation?

Adhiguna Mahendra is no stranger to me and has advised my company on areas of product development around AI as well as been a partner on joint ventures. In this book he brings together his nearly 20 years of experience operating in an area that for most is just new. In over 500 pages he looks at multiple case studies and produces one of the most comprehensive books on this vital subject, available in the market today.

The book is a must read for aspiring AI professionals through to technology leaders. By looking at real case studies Mr. Mahendra cuts out a lot of the jargon and gets to the nuts and bolts of a subject which is likely to be one of the most important technology advancements of the coming decade.

The 518 page book is a thoughtful, engaging and game-changing read for any entrepreneur, technology leader, decision-maker, product manager/business strategist, developer/AI enthusiast, investor/venture capitalist, researcher or student. I appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with Dr. Mahendra at this level and his consideration of me in an association.
Personally for me, as I continue my career in venture capital and entrepreneurship, the book will serve as a desktop resource for the basis of my critical thinking and decision-making.  With so much fairy tale and melodramatic hype surrounding AI at this time, this is a must–read that brings some reality into the reader’s perspective from a builder’s insight to a consumer’s insight. The book unwaveringly pulls no punches and gives its readers the proper thinking about what AI means for society and how we can safely and successfully implement and consume it.
