Comment: Some of my colleagues believe that when AI becomes a dominating way of life, that many of us will lose our jobs. Our jobs will be taken away by faster than the speed of light thinking machines. With this book, you will get an understanding on how AI works. Will it change our way of life? You can find the answers in this fact-finding book. In the introduction it mentions that artificial intelligence is no longer a distant idea from science fiction; it is part of our daily lives. It recommends what we watch and buy, helps doctors interpret medical images, translates languages in real time, filters spam, powers digital assistants, detects fraud, and increasingly shapes decisions that affect millions of people. In this book you will receive direct, clear trustworthy answers. This book will tone down your stress of imagining HR knocking on your office door and replacing you with a machine. In this book, you will get a full understanding what ChatGPT is. ChatGPT is a fantastic tool for me. I am not an artist, but I do write ebooks and with ChatGPT I am able to create beautiful images for my ebook. In this book, you will learn about the key components of an AI system. You will learn how AI can assist the human manager in making important business decisions.

Did you ever wonder what the IT personnel in your office are talking about when they say AI hallucinates? To give you a quick answer, it’s when AI is making things up. In this book, you will get the full and complete answer. By the time you finish reading this book you will have a full understanding on what AI is all about. This book would be perfect as an “AI for Dummies”. I am not tech savvy, but with this book, I am getting a clearer picture. If you look at some of the chat lines, there are people who believe that when AI reaches super intelligence, that it will become godlike, because it will have all of the knowledge of the Internet and more. Some experts believe superintelligence could help solve major global problems, but others worry about its risks if it is not properly aligned with human values. All the way back to 1950, pioneers like Alan Turing proposed that machines could simulate human intelligence. In this book, you will learn more about Geoffrey Hinton and why they call him the Godfather of deep learning. ChatGPT is an incredible tool, but it still has its faults. ChatGPT can follow a conversation for several exchanges, but it has its limits. One challenge is memory. ChatGPT only remembers a certain number of previous words (called the context window). If the conversation gets too long, it might forget earlier parts.

In this book, you will learn how computer vision help self-driving cars recognize objects. I have a 2020 Kia Optima and because of this book, I understand now that my car has several computers. Modern vehicles are essentially rolling computer networks, and the Optima relies on multiple dedicated computers—called Electronic Control Units (ECUs) or modules—to manage everything from the engine to the entertainment system. I always wanted to know how my car is aware of lane markings. From this book I learn that my car detects lane markings primarily using a forward-facing camera mounted behind the windshield near the rearview mirror. An onboard computer analyzes the camera feed in real-time, looking for painted lines and edges to track your vehicle’s position. As I continue reading this fantastic book, I learn how the government is embracing AI and using it to improve public services. As AI moves along, the search engines are just going to get better and better. In this book, learn about the ethical concerns of using AI in education. As we move into the world of AI, things can get confusing, but with this book, things become clearer and will place your mind at ease. A must read!
