Narrated by: Andrew Peterson

A Crash Course in Artificial Intelligence takes you on a fascinating journey exploring the past, present, and future of a technology that will soon be embedded into nearly everything we do. This engaging and accessible guide unpacks the essentials of AI, from its fascinating origins to its cutting-edge applications in healthcare, education, and beyond. Discover how AI impacts your life today—and what it means for your future.

In this book, we explore the ethical challenges, real-world applications, and practical insights to thrive in an AI-driven world. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, professional, or curious person, this book offers the clarity and tools to embrace AI as a force for innovation and growth.

This book covers AI in all of its applications—medicine, finance, commerce, education, business, transportation, creativity, design and much more. There's a lot of information to digest, yet the writing style is informal and easy to take in. You will enjoy this ride and learn a lot about a subject that really warrants our attention.

If befriended and used well, AI can be empowering and extraordinary. If we leave AI to its own devices (or to the tech crowd), we become passive observers in what may very well become an extension and enhancer of our human capabilities.
