Every organisation now has access to powerful AI tools. Very few know how to use them to make better decisions.
This book is about the gap between having AI and using it well. It is written for analysts, managers, clinicians, lawyers, engineers, policy professionals, and researchers - anyone whose work involves consequential decisions and who wants to make those decisions more rigorously, more consistently, and more accountably in an age of machine intelligence.
Drawing on decision science, cognitive psychology, applied statistics, and ten chapters of worked Python examples, Dr. Ilker Cingillioglu builds a complete framework for AI-augmented decision-making - from the anatomy of a decision and the cognitive biases that corrupt it, to the design of decision pipelines, the governance of automated systems, and the professional skills that remain irreducibly human when machines handle the analysis.
Inside this book:

No prior programming experience is required. A willingness to think precisely is.
