DATAcated Book of the Day: The AI Playbook by Eric Siegel

I chose The AI Playbook: Mastering the Rare Art of Machine Learning Deployment by Eric Siegel because it's a practical guide for anyone trying to make machine learning (ML) work in the real world.

Eric Siegel explains how machine learning works in his first book, but in this one, he dives into how to actually deploy ML projects and see results. It’s no secret that while machine learning is powerful, many companies struggle to put it into action—especially outside of Big Tech. This book gives a clear six-step plan to help you do just that.

What I love about it is that it’s written for both business and data professionals. It helps teams work together, understand how ML can improve business, and get projects from the idea stage to real-world impact.

Key takeaways:

• Step-by-step guide to turning ML ideas into deployed projects.

• Success stories from companies like UPS and FICO.

• Tips on how business and data teams can work together better on ML projects.

If you're looking for a practical guide to making your machine learning projects succeed, this is the book for you!
