Artificial Intelligence. It's certainly become a buzzword. But what does it mean? How does it work, and what can it do? This book aims to give you a gentle and intuitive introduction to all of that. Yes, AI can do amazing things, but what digital cogs are spinning under the hood to make it work? Should we be fascinated, worried, or a bit of both? How will it reshape the world, and do we get a say in that?
