About this audiobook
Artificial intelligence is everywhere in public discourse but rarely understood beyond surface-level impressions. Most people operate with a vague sense that AI is "computers that think" or "algorithms that learn," without grasping what that actually means in practice. This volume bridges that gap—explaining what AI is, how the dominant approaches work, what current systems can and cannot do, and where the field is heading.
