To Reason is to be Human

Very helpful and informative book on the hottest topic of the moment. Explains the development of AI and where it is in the universally recognized 4 levels at present. It comes with a full glossary so you don't feel out of depth in what is to many a relatively new discilpline. I felt enlightened, and now am more confident in my understanding of the limitations, and benefits of AI.

Perfect For Those Short On Time But Curious

I thought this book was a quick, engaging primer on AI basics. It is based on easy, 8-minute sections, it covers AI’s fundamentals, key players, and both the exciting opportunities and risks involved. From its impact on jobs to its role in entertainment, I think this book delivers a balanced, accessible introduction that's as entertaining as it is informative. Ideal for a rapid yet thorough understanding of AI.

Brilliant book!

I had a very very basic understanding of AI before I found this book and have learnt so much from it! Very factual and easy to understand. Great 8min chunks so that you can learn small sections at a time!

Great Overview - So Much to Learn

I learned alot and with the speed AI is changing, I have a lot of work ahead of me to stay "in touch". I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the real-world examples and how AI is being used with cars, movies, in business, marketing, healthcare. The examples made the technology and application easier to comprehend. I found the evolution of AI interesting too and although many people will potentially lose their jobs because of this technology, new jobs will come to light which hopefully people will learn about and embrace. Great overview of the big picture of AI and our potential future. Well Done!
