How AI Works: From Sorcery to Science

AI isn’t magic. How AI Works demystifies the explosion of artificial  intelligence by explaining—without a single mathematical equation—what  happened, when it happened, why it happened, how it happened, and what  AI is actually doing "under the hood."

Artificial intelligence is  everywhere—from self-driving cars, to image generation from text, to  the unexpected power of language systems like ChatGPT—yet few people  seem to know how it all really works. How AI Works unravels the  mysteries of artificial intelligence, without the complex math and  unnecessary jargon.

The relationship between artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning
The history behind AI and why the artificial intelligence revolution is happening now
How decades of work in symbolic AI failed and opened the door for the emergence of neural networks
What  neural networks are, how they are trained, and why all the wonder of  modern AI boils down to a simple, repeated unit that knows how to  multiply input numbers to produce an output number.
The implications of large language models, like ChatGPT and Bard, on our society—nothing will be the same again
