Description

AI, one letter at a time. Artificial intelligence doesn't have to be intimidating. In A is for Agent: An Illustrated Guide to AI, researcher and roboticist Dr. Andrew B. Williams turns twenty-six of the field's biggest ideas into simple, hand-drawn lessons you can actually picture. Each letter of the alphabet pairs a playful illustration with a short, plain-language explanation. Read it front to back, or flip through and stop wherever a concept catches your eye. There's no jargon to clear first and no prerequisite required. Whether you're a student, a professional, an educator, or simply curious about AI, this is the friendliest map of the AI landscape you'll find. By the end, you'll see artificial intelligence more clearly and talk about it with far more confidence. There's more to AI than the chatbot on your phone. This book introduces its many sides, one picture at a time. A Generation AI Book, from Generation AI with the AI Doctor.

    This book provides an excellent overview of AI essentials for all ages. Dr. William’s definitions and drawings bring humor and understanding to a topic that can often be intimidating and overwhelming. The letters “U” and “Y” made me smile and were my favorite insights shared. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge with us!

    Dr Williams creatively uses illustrations and metaphors to explain the complexities of AI is a consumable way! Once I started reading it, I couldn’t stop. This is excellent! Very easy for the AI Novice. I will use this with my church group. We have an AI team. Most of the folks want to learn the latest App. However, there are some who want to learn the fundamentals. I have been reluctant due to complexities. However, you’ve cracked the code on a starter class. Thanks!
