Book Description:

Nearly all companies nowadays either already use or are trying to incorporate AI/ML into their businesses. While AI/ML research is undoubtedly complex, the building and running of apps that utilize AI/ML effectively is tougher. This book shows you exactly how to design and run AI/ML workloads successfully using years of experience some of the world’s leading tech companies have to offer.

You’ll begin by gaining a clear understanding of essential fundamental AI/ML concepts, before moving on to grasp complex topics with the help of examples and hands-on activities. This will help you eventually explore advanced, cutting-edge AI/ML applications that address real-world use cases in today’s market. As you advance, you’ll recognize the common challenges that companies face when implementing AI/ML workloads, and discover industry-proven best practices to overcome these challenges. The chapters also teach you about the vast AI/ML landscape on Google Cloud and how to implement all the steps needed in a typical AI/ML project. You’ll use services such as BigQuery to prepare data; Vertex AI to train, deploy, monitor, and scale models in production; as well as MLOps to automate the entire process.

By the end of this book, you will be able to unlock the full potential of Google Cloud’s AI/ML offerings.
