When I decided to write this book, I wanted to give you a chance to understand the history of Tableau. I also wanted to give you a grounding and understanding of what artificial intelligence (AI) is. And finally, I wanted to address the impacts of this new technology, not only in analytics but also in the world. My goal in these decisions is to ensure that we are on the same page throughout the book, we are speaking the same language, and we’re addressing some important issues early on so that they aren’t neglected. Often I’ve found in our profession, the lack of saying things leads to confusion or the prolonging of important discussions, so instead, let’s get started.
