About this listen

We live in an age defined by information. Every second, billions of digital events—messages, purchases, movements, clicks, and searches—generate an endless stream of data. Yet, data alone means nothing. It is Artificial Intelligence that gives it meaning, transforming raw numbers into insight, and insight into action.

From Data to Decisions reveals how AI turns the chaos of modern information into clarity, intelligence, and power. Through ten illuminating chapters, Julian Vexley explores the mechanisms, logic, and creativity behind the most important technological revolution of our time—the rise of systems that can learn, predict, and decide.

In clear, engaging language, Vexley demystifies how machines learn from patterns, classify and sort information, and forecast the future based on the past. He explains how AI systems understand language, tailor recommendations, detect fraud, optimise logistics, and even generate art and music. Each chapter uncovers a different dimension of how data becomes decision, showing how these invisible processes are quietly transforming every aspect of human life—from medicine and science to business, art, and everyday experience.

Listeners will discover how machine learning extracts patterns from oceans of information, how algorithms find the signal in the noise, and how deep neural networks allow computers to “see” and “hear” the world. They will also explore the ethical and practical challenges of a society increasingly shaped by decisions made not by people, but by programs trained to think like them.

At the heart of From Data to Decisions lies one powerful idea: AI is not replacing humanity—it is extending it. Vexley shows how intelligent systems act as partners in progress, amplifying our ability to perceive, create, and solve. He takes the listener behind the headlines and hype to reveal the real story of AI: not a dystopian vision of machines taking over, but a revolution in how humans and computers collaborate to understand an ever more complex world.

Drawing from real-world examples—autonomous vehicles navigating city streets, medical algorithms diagnosing disease before symptoms appear, predictive systems guarding financial networks, and creative models composing poetry—Vexley shows how AI is redefining intelligence itself. He explains how every modern innovation, from climate modeling to space exploration, depends on one essential process: turning data into decisions.

Written for the curious listener, From Data to Decisions bridges the gap between technical depth and everyday relevance. It offers both clarity and wonder, revealing how today’s data-driven systems reflect centuries of human curiosity and ingenuity. Whether you are a student of technology, a business professional, or simply someone fascinated by how the modern world really works, this book will change how you see information—and your place in the intelligence revolution.

In the end, Julian Vexley leaves us with an essential message: AI is not about creating machines that think for us—it’s about creating systems that think with us. The decisions of tomorrow are already being shaped by the data of today, and understanding that transformation is key to navigating the future.

From Data to Decisions: Ten Ways AI Uses Information is your guide to that future—a journey through the logic, language, and imagination of the technologies redefining what it means to know, to learn, and to decide.

Beyond the technological marvels, the book tackles the crucial ethical and practical challenges of a society increasingly shaped by non-human decisions. It offers a balanced look at the importance of human-computer collaboration rather than a dystopian vision. I found the discussion on predictive systems guarding financial networks especially thought-provoking. I recommend this to policymakers and concerned citizens who want to navigate the future with a clear understanding of AI's societal impact.

Julian Vexley successfully takes the listener behind the headlines and hype to reveal the real story of AI. The explanation of how AI systems understand language and their application in areas like climate modeling and space exploration redefined my view of modern innovation. It truly shows how every modern leap depends on the essential process of turning data into decisions. I recommend this to engineers and scientists seeking to understand the broad applications of machine intelligence across diverse fields.

This audiobook is incredibly illuminating. It clearly explains the 'ten ways' AI uses information to predict and decide. I now understand how algorithms find the signal in the noise and why consistency is more powerful than intensity. Highly recommended for business professionals and the generally curious listener.
