AI First Principles: Seeing - Understanding - Interpreting - Adapting

A practical guide to sound judgment about artificial intelligence. It helps readers distinguish what AI appears to do from what the evidence actually supports. Four movements organize the book-Seeing, Understanding, Interpreting, and Adapting-examining how AI works, what its capabilities mean, where they stop, and how we should respond. It avoids both hype and alarmism, offering a structured way to evaluate AI's performance, claims, and consequences. The guiding principle is simple: interpretation should never outrun evidence.
