provide B.

True
False

1 point

5.Question 5
Which of these statements regarding data acquisition do you agree with?

It doesn’t matter how data is acquired. The more data, the better.

Some types of data are more valuable than others; working with an AI team can help you figure out what data to acquire.

Only structured data is valuable; AI cannot process unstructured data.

It doesn’t help to give data to an AI team, because they can always produce whatever they need by themselves.

False

1 point

output B (whether your sales team should prioritize them). The 3 steps of the workflow, in scrambled order, are:

(i) Deploy a trained model and get data back from users

(ii) Collect data with both A and B

(iii) Train a machine learning system to input A and output B

Drive extremely high value for the business

Be executed by an in-house team

None of the above

1 point

7.Question 7
Say you are building a smart speaker, and want to accumulate data for your product through having many users. Which of these
represents the “Virtuous circle of AI” for this product?
(A)

(B)

(C)
(D)

1 point

8.Question 8
Why is developing an AI strategy NOT the first step in the AI Transformation Playbook?

When transforming a company into an AI company, one does not need a strategy, therefore it can’t be the first step.

Without having some practical AI experience and knowing what it feels like to build an AI project, a company usually does not know
enough to formulate a sound strategy.

The strategy should be to use the Virtuous Circle of AI, which comes after building a product.

There is no reason. Developing an AI strategy IS the first step in the AI Transformation Playbook.
