The authors of the bestselling \u003ci\u003ePrediction Machines\u003c\/i\u003e can help you prepare.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArtificial intelligence (AI) has impacted many industries around the world - banking and finance, pharmaceuticals, automotive, medical technology, manufacturing, and retail. But it has only just begun its odyssey toward cheaper, better, and faster predictions that drive strategic business decisions. When prediction is taken to the max, industries transform, and with such transformation comes disruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is at the root of this? In their bestselling first book, \u003ci\u003ePrediction Machines\u003c\/i\u003e, eminent economists Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans, and Avi Goldfarb explained the simple yet game-changing economics of AI. Now, in \u003ci\u003ePower and Prediction\u003c\/i\u003e, they go deeper, examining the most basic unit of analysis: the decision. The authors explain that the two key decision-making ingredients are prediction and judgement, and we perform both together in our minds, often without realising it. The rise of AI is shifting prediction from humans to machines, relieving people from this cognitive load while increasing the speed and accuracy of decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis sets the stage for a flourishing of new decisions and has profound implications for \u003ci\u003esystem-level\u003c\/i\u003e innovation. Redesigning systems of interdependent decisions takes time - many industries are in the quiet before the storm - but when these new systems emerge, they can be disruptive on a global scale. Decision-making confers power. In industry, power confers profits; in society, power confers control. This process will have winners and losers, and the authors show how businesses can leverage opportunities, as well as protect their positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFilled with illuminating insights, rich examples, and practical advice, \u003ci\u003ePower and Prediction\u003c\/i\u003e is the must-read guide for any business leader or policymaker on how to make the coming AI disruptions work for you rather than against you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46451592265964,"sku":"9781647824198","price":53.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19060523482774.jpg?v=1747573057"},{"product_id":"prediction-machines-by-joshua-gans-9781647824679","title":"Prediction Machines","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNamed one of 'The five best books to understand AI' by\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe impact AI will have is profound, but the economic framework for understanding it is surprisingly simple.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArtificial intelligence seems to do the impossible, magically bringing machines to life—driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI brings can be paralysing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In the face of such uncertainty, many either cower in fear or predict an impossibly sunny future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut in \u003cem\u003ePrediction Machines\u003c\/em\u003e, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction.
