An Illustrated Introduction

Produktbeschreibung

AI is reshaping our world. This book is your practical guide to understanding it - so you can stay relevant, work smarter, and prepare for what's next- no technical background required.
We're living through a transformation as profound as electricity or the printing press, yet AI often feels more like hype than help. AI for the Rest of Us explains AI with clear language, vivid illustrations, and humor. Veteran AI researcher Sairam Sundaresan unpacks machine learning, natural language, vision, and recommender systems, showing how they drive the tech we use daily.
You'll learn how AI works, where it appears, and how to make smarter choices about its role in your life and work. In two parts, the book moves from core concepts to real applications while cutting myths and stripping away buzzwords.

He's still waiting for AI that gets his jokes.
