data mesh, data fabric,?aspects of?security,?data privacy,?data rights and IPR related to data and AI models.

In the book, you'll also discover:

• How to reduce the risk of entering bias in our artificial intelligence solutions and how to approach explainable AI (XAI)
• The importance of efficient and reproduceable data pipelines, including how to manage your company's data
• An operational perspective on the development of AI models using the MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) approach, including how to deploy, run and monitor models and ML pipelines in production using CI/CD/CT techniques, that generates value in the real world
• Key competences and toolsets in AI development, deployment and operations
• What to consider when operating different types of AI business models

With a strong emphasis on deployment and operations of trustworthy and reliable AI solutions that operate well in the real world-and not just the lab-Operating AI?is a must-read for business leaders looking for ways to operationalize an AI business model that actually makes money, from the concept phase to running in a live production environment.
