Greg’s latest book acknowledges a critical truth: AI and machine learning will never be infallible. What sets this work apart is its deeply user-centric perspective—focusing not just on finding the “right” solution, but questioning whether our assumptions align with the real needs of a situation or problem.
In an era overwhelmed by AI hype, where most talks, articles, and even books celebrate simply getting the technology to function, Greg offers something far more valuable—practical insight. Drawing from his hands-on experience building successful products, he shares concrete tactics, frameworks, and principles for designing systems, products, and teams centered on meaningful AI experiences.
Perhaps the book’s greatest strength lies in its principles. Rather than presenting a single polished solution, Greg often walks us through multiple, sometimes contradictory, approaches—explaining the reasoning behind each. This empowers readers to think critically and adapt these strategies to their own context. Equally important, he shows when not to use AI, offering clear, grounded examples of traditional methods like algebraic estimation and statistical modeling as solid alternatives or complements.
True to form, the book is engaging and highly readable—despite being packed with practical detail, charts, tables, and even math exercises. It's not just a reference or textbook; it’s a thoughtful, absorbing read that rewards cover-to-cover exploration.
