It’s balanced … and doesn’t shy away from the tough issues from ethics to job loss to the environment. This book will help your business navigate our AI-infused future.”
— David Agnew, President, Seneca Polytechnic

“In AI Concepts and Applications for Business Leaders, Dr. Ken Wong explores compelling examples of how artificial intelligence is transforming countless business sectors today, whilst providing business leaders with practical insights to harness AI's future potential and drive innovation across their organisations.”
— Darren Entwistle, President and CEO, TELUS

“How many of these quotes were written by AI? Frightening or relieving? That’s your call! Yet, if you want to continue driving the decision-making, you may consider reading Ken’s book. My take is that intuition will remain a «human» activity… Asimov didn’t seem against that view… And the world changes every day. So anything that can leverage our intuition is good. Tomorrow starts today.”
— Xavier de Roquemaurel, CEO, Czapek & Cie SA
