About this conversation

Eric Siegel is a longtime expert on machine learning, and is the author of the new book "The AI Playbook: Mastering the Rare Art of Machine Learning Deployment."

Eric has been a professor at Columbia University, a longtime machine learning consultant, and he's the founder of the long-running "Machine Learning Week" conference series.

Eric's take? AI is over-hyped, but machine learning still has much to offer a business...if you know how to deploy it. So in this pod, we go t through his step-by-step playbook of how to deploy machine learning, and how that's different from more squishy AI hype.

The book has been getting some buzz in the space. Scott Galloway gave it a glowing blurb, calling it a "robust primer on machine learning,” and a “must-read for anyone in the information economy.”

Fun convo!
