Generative AI and AI agents are not the first hyped trend to sweep through the corporate world. However, this one is poised to unleash a transformative power unlike anything history has seen before.
Following the \"ChatGPT moment\" of 2022, everyone from CEOs and enterprise designers to line-of-business employees and programmers is asking—among other things—how their company can derive maximum benefit from AI.
Generative AI promises a massive corporate transformation. Yet, the \"how\" can often feel like navigating through a fog—a concept reflected in this book’s cover image, which shows someone standing atop a golden sphere, partially obscured by mist. New models, agent frameworks, and product announcements appear daily. CEOs ask when \"this AI\" will finally be deployed, development teams push for the latest tools, and consultants sell visions of autonomous systems capable of making decisions without human intervention.
This book is aimed at IT-focused leaders—such as project managers, enterprise architects, and solution architects—who want to turn the promises of generative AI and AI agents into reality.
Different industries and regulatory environments present unique challenges. You will find considerable discussion in this book regarding regulated sectors like banking and insurance; the healthcare industry faces similar, if not stricter, constraints. While these sectors offer promising approaches, one cannot simply unleash an AI agent naively and expect a windfall of riches to rain down on the company.
This book will help you identify challenges that the people trying to sell you products or projects often either fail to recognize or deliberately overlook.
Consequently, this book is not an introduction to the \"engine room\" of AI—such as the mechanics of machine learning or the deep technical intricacies of agent technologies. It goes as deep as necessary to explain key management issues. It is a guide for people who have already lived through more than one of the hypes that regularly sweep through the IT world.
