Synopsis

Walked into a meeting where AI came up — and felt the room shift?

You're not alone. Across every industry, non-technical managers and directors are being asked to weigh in on AI strategy, vendor pitches, and "where are we on this" board questions — even when nobody put them in charge of the technology.

This book is the fastest way to stop nodding politely.

The AI Jargon Buster decodes the language of AI into plain English — fast. Machine learning, neural networks, large language models, prompt engineering, RAG, agentic AI: what they actually are, what they actually do, and what they mean for the people who own outcomes, not code.

Built for the non-technical leader who:

• Got handed an "AI strategy" mandate without a technical background

• Sits through vendor pitches and can't tell signal from sales theater

• Wants to sound informed in the next 1:1, the next board update, the next budget review

• Doesn't want a 400-page textbook or a hype-cycle YouTube rabbit hole

Inside:

• Plain-English breakdowns of the AI terms that actually come up in leadership conversations

• Real-world examples grounded in everyday business — not lab demos

• A full A-to-Z jargon cheat sheet you can come back to

• "What to say in the meeting" instincts throughout

No hype. No filler. No prerequisites.

From the Inside Flap

Every industry now has the same meeting.
A vendor pitch. A board question. A "where are we on AI?" agenda item. And in the room — alongside the people who built the systems — sits the non-technical leader who owns the outcome. The manager. The director. The function head.
This book is written for them.
The AI Jargon Buster is a plain-English field guide to the language of modern AI: what the terms actually mean, where the hype sits, and what each concept implies for the people responsible for results, not code. Machine learning, LLMs, RAG, agentic AI, prompt engineering, vector embeddings, foundation models — decoded for the leader who needs to weigh in, not write the code.
Read it once. Walk into the next meeting with a vocabulary that matches your authority.
