The Encyclopedia of AI: A Comprehensive Reference for the Age of Machine Intelligence (Guidance Compliance And Solutions In The Age Of Artificial Intelligence)

You are holding or scrolling through what may be the most thorough, most honest, and least diplomatically cautious encyclopedia of artificial intelligence ever assembled. Written by one person with too much time, too much curiosity, and just enough caffeine to stay vertical through eleven volumes of material, this book is an antidote to venture capital vocabulary and breathless news headlines. It is written because AI needs actually explaining not the kind of explaining that involves PowerPoint slides or the phrase "it's basically magic." It is not magic. It is math, data, compute, and a staggering amount of human labor. This comprehensive reference covers the full terrain of machine intelligence:The depressing history and philosophical debates that gave rise to this moment. The mathematical torment and foundations that make it all possible. The core algorithmic paradigms and deep learning architectures that do the actual work.
