This is a hand book on Ai. This effort is to help you understand Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative AI, and its possibilities. This effort aims to provide a structured approach to introduce concepts in a clear and engaging manner and also provide with use cases across sectors. Author has also made an attempt to capture about 20 industries and nearly 80% of today's jobs that in his opinion are most likely to get displaced within the next 10 years. Please do not treat this as scare-mongering or fear-mongering.
This book helps one understand basics of AI and also what kind of skills one can acquire to stay relevant going forward in business or in profession. These skills may be relevant for now and for next few years and not necessarily for ever. One needs to be cognisance to the reality that the skills we are required to acquire are no longer for life or at least not necessarily for life. Most of the skills discussed are such and irrespective the matter in this context discussed are pointers and one needs to keep watch as this remains a continuously evolving space.
next, another sincere attempt made in this book by the author is to analyse how 20 industries get affected by the evolution of AI and in many cases the impact are already begun to show and many that are discussed are likely to impact in the years to come. While, the author's analysis suggests that these are the likely outcome across each of those sectors in the next ten years, one should be open minded to receive them as a guide or reference not necessarily an ultimate truth. While, some may happen much sooner and some may happen far later and the intent of author is to get as many people to be aware of the possibilities, not necessary good or bad. Awareness is the first step to prepare for any eventuality. Once being aware, each can work on upgrading skills and learning to cope with possibilities and also prepare to stay relevant.
For a reader, ideal approach would be, not about how much of what's said in the book will turn out to be truth but if it does turn out to be true,
where do I as a reader stand?
how much of this will impact me and my business? or career will get impacted? and
what can I do to stay on top of the situation?

So, intent of the author is to trigger a thought process among the reader communities to;
1. be aware
2. be prepared
3. develop a foresight
4. face the change
5. acquire new skills
6. be relevant
7. keep oneself updated
8. avoid resisting change
9. share with more people
10. embrace change

All the above are best said than done and that is the challenge this book poses to its readers and while posing a challenge it also suggests ways to prepare for it and also provides various cases and possibilities which are also opportunities for those who wish to ride and adopt fast. While, for the rest author intends to raise flags. So, one can start thinking and start preparing towards it and not be the one to resist the change or try to avoid the eventuality. Already, world is exposing the possibilities of AI to every individual across the spectrum but the prevalence of this technology and its impact is way beyond anyone's comprehension.
Also, most of our governments and policy makers are also not keeping themselves aware of the change that artificial intelligence is likely to bring about but not even preparing for the consequences of the change that the world is likely to face with and the population having to deal with. This book, will be successful is each of the readers are able to develop a new perspective and ask some of these questions;
What is the impact of AI on my business ?
What kind of jobs are threatened by AI?
What kind of skills should I acquire?
How to be relevant in my career ?
Where can I find reliable information?

Author urges everyone to approach this very pragmatically and creatively..
