About this audiobook

What is artificial intelligence actually doing when it answers a question? Go beyond the hype and discover the fascinating machinery behind modern AI. *What Is AI Actually?* takes you from neural networks and machine learning to tokens, Transformers, attention, and the surprisingly powerful process of predicting what comes next. Clear, accessible, and grounded in memorable examples, this audiobook reveals why AI can sound remarkably human without necessarily thinking like one—and why fluent answers aren't always true. Look behind the blinking cursor and discover how mathematics becomes language.
