Understanding AI (Manning)

AI is everywhere—from the tools we use at work to the services and products we rely on every day. But keeping up with the terminology, capabilities, and rapid pace of change can be difficult, especially if you’re new to the subject.

Matthew Berman, Nicholas Wentz, and Angelica Lo Duca

Understanding AI: A Beginner’s Guide by Matthew Berman, Nicholas Wentz, and Angelica Lo Duca offers a clear, approachable introduction to artificial intelligence. It explains what AI is, how today’s systems work, what they can and can’t do, and how the technology is likely to affect our lives and careers. You don’t need a technical background or prior experience with AI to get started.

The book is now available through Manning Early Access. You can read chapters as they’re written, follow the book’s development, and share feedback that may help shape the finished edition.
