    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to AI
    Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Ben Jones provides an introduction to AI that should be pretty understandable to most readers interested in the topic. In fact, I found it a bit more understandable, perhaps because of his many illustrations and analogies, than Leo Lexicon's AI for Smart Pre-Teens & Teens. My one critique is that while most of the illustrations were helpful, his graphs of Google NGrams showing the references to various terms in books over time were way too small for me to read -- made me wish I had the Kindle version, which I usually order, rather than the print version.

    I enjoyed the conversational tone of this book. I haven’t been keeping up with AI and was worried some stuff would be over my head, but I was able to follow the explanations easily. This book is a great foundation.

    I've worked in AI for over 10 years and LOVE this book. It is my number 1 recommendation to anyone slightly interested in the field, or just looking to learn more about it. Ben does a fantastic job breaking down difficult concepts and making them easy to digest.

    Excellent book for a quick understanding of artificial intelligence. The illustrations and layout help to reinforce understanding of the themes. I recommend it mainly to anyone who needs to understand what AI is. The appendix also contains cited digrams and an excellent glossary.
