Publisher's Synopsis
AI has transformed our world. However, for many learners, there are some gaps in their knowledge of what has already happened and will continue to happen.
My goal is to reduce your confusion and provide a clear idea of what AI really is and how it is transforming our world. In a sea of contrasting and misleading information, I believe that this will be very helpful in understanding what is true and how it matters.
I seek to clarify and explain the most important ideas. This book can be used in a wide variety of university and high school classes as a supplement. It is really a quick read- but each time you re-read it, you will find something new and insightful to ponder. In this way, I hope this book becomes your companion.
You will find the writing style to be terse- that is because I am trying really hard to distill what I think is important and bring it to you. Simply lengthening the content really does not help- you can always feed it into your favorite AI and get a longer version.
Happy learning!
