If you are like me, you might be feeling a bit frustrated or overwhelmed by most learning material in the AI space as it is often heavily technical. As a Designer and Product Manager, this is not that helpful to me.
To learn more about AI, I recently signed up for a course being run by University College Dublin (UCD). thoughtbot has no affiliation with UCD. The course is called Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Business. It teaches AI from a strategic, tactical, and operational perspective. I found it so helpful that I’m recapping my top insights into a new blog series; AI for Business.
Who is this series for?
Anyone in Design and Product roles will benefit, especially if you focus on Product Strategy. It will also help stakeholders like founders, executives, business development folks and anyone looking to get to grips with the capabilites of AI in a business setting.
It will be especially helpful for those in non-technical roles.
What will the series cover?
The topics we will cover, in order, are as follows:
- A history of AI
- How to harness AI
- AI and automation
- AI and cognitive insight
- AI and cognitive engagement
- Evolution V revolution?
- Adoption challenges - People
- Adoption challenges - Legal, societal & ethical considerations
- Implementation strategy
How do I follow along?
New posts will come out weekly. When a new post comes out, we’ll add a link to it in the above list. You can also find all the articles by searching the thoughtbot blog for “AI for Business”.
Do I need to read these blogs in order?
Not necessarily. It is probably helpful to do so for continuity, but some blogs might not be relevant to your business or product. So feel free to skip them and read whatever resonates with you, whenever you’re ready to read it! 😄
