"I highly recommended this excellent book, written lucidly by academia and practitioners, for AI novices like me who desire to be informed of the various AI technologies out there--their evolution, their abilities, and their limitations. At APS, we have developed with the assistance of Nexus FrontierTech an AI Fundamental ESG System, which has helped us make better investment decisions. I expect more AI solutions in our lives, business, etc as the technology improves."

Wong Kok Hoi, Founder and Chief Strategist, APS Asset Management

"Artificial intelligence is not magic. Despite the incessant hyperbole, there are no shibboleths that turn water into wine or hay into gold. Yes, AI can be transformative to your business, but effective AI takes work: careful, disciplined engineering of the necessary infrastructure with well-governed data curation and then, and only then, the application of still-evolving AI algorithms. Charting the Next AI Frontier: Being AI Native does an excellent job of articulating this foundational truth. Terence, Mark, Danny and Paul lay out the history, the intellectual underpinnings, and, without apology, the difficult homework that makes the effective implementation of contemporary artificial intelligence possible. Any CEO who needs artificial intelligence in his business-which is all of us--should read this book before committing to a major investment. It will save him time and improve the likelihood that the AI he buys will generate the results he needs."

Stephen C. Daffron, Co-Founder of Motive Partners & Chairman, BetaNXT
