Description
Book Overview
“Prediction Machines” reframes the AI revolution by showing that the key shift is not machines that think, but prediction becoming cheaper and more accessible. When prediction is inexpensive, many of the decisions we make in business, policy, and daily life change. This updated and expanded edition provides fresh insights on how prediction enables new strategies, shifts power, alters the role of judgment, and explores emergent technologies like quantum computing, alongside real world examples to guide leaders through the transformation.
