From the app that deposits your check to the online store that knows exactly what you want, AI is no longer a distant dream—it's a part of our daily lives. Yet for most of us, it remains a mysterious black box, a source of both wonder and fear. How did we get here? And where are we heading?
Artificial Intelligence for Humans is the answer you’ve been looking for. Author and AI professor César Rennó-Costa takes you on a panoramic and accessible journey through the fascinating history of artificial intelligence, written for a general audience with no technical background required.
Forget dense equations and impenetrable jargon. This book tells the story of AI through its big ideas, its brilliant pioneers, its forgotten heroes, and the epic philosophical debates that have driven the field for decades.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- The Birth of the Big Idea: Travel back to the 1956 Dartmouth workshop where the term "Artificial Intelligence" was born and a handful of brilliant minds set out to build a "thinking machine".
- The Great Philosophical Divides: Understand the clash between two visions of intelligence: one based on pure logic and rules (Symbolic AI) and another inspired by the brain's ability to learn from experience (Connectionism).
- The "AI Winters" and Springs: Learn about the cycles of hype and disillusionment, when funding dried up and the field nearly vanished, only to be reborn with new breakthroughs.
- The Revolutions That Changed Everything: Follow the evolution from rule based "expert systems" to the modern era of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and the Generative AI that powers tools like ChatGPT.
- The People Behind the Machines: Meet the key figures—from Alan Turing and John McCarthy to Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun—and learn about the rivalries and collaborations that shaped the technology we use today.
If you're curious about the most important technology of the 21st century but don't know where to start, this engaging and insightful guide is the perfect first step.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
