How AI works : from sorcery to science

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.

You'll learn: 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, and the implications of large language models, like ChatGPT and Bard, on our society - nothing will be the same again.

AI isn't magic. If you've ever wondered how it works, what it can do, or why the
