Virtual Stack
Podcast is back after a long break! On the 37th episode of the
show, I'm joined by the authors of the book "AI
as a Service", Peter Elger (CEO,
fourTheorem) and Eoin
Shanaghy (CTO, fourTheorem).
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.
I have free eBook codes for this book and you’ll get one if
you’re one of the first 5 people to share my LinkedIn and Twitter
posts with your network. Besides that, you can use the code

Virtual Stack is available on all major apps: Apple Podcast,
Spotify, Google Podcast, Stitcher and more. As usual, feel free to
share your feedback via Twitter (@emregirici), LinkedIn or
