On the 37th episode of the show, I'm joined by the authors of the book &quot;AI as a Service&quot;, Peter Elger (CEO, fourTheorem) and Eoin Shanaghy (CTO, fourTheorem). &amp;nbsp; No need to mention the importance of the role that AI\/ML play in digital transformation. With the incredible speed of evolution of cloud computing, it's now much easier to adopt cloud-based solutions rather than building everything by yourself. Peter and Eoin's book explain the AI as a Service with real world examples. &amp;nbsp; I have free eBook codes for this book and you\u2019ll get one if you\u2019re one of the first 5 people to share my LinkedIn and Twitter posts with your network. Besides that, you can use the code \u201cpodstack20\u201d for a 40% discount on all Manning Publications products. &amp;nbsp; Virtual Stack is available on all major apps: Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcast, Stitcher and more.
