Dear members of the Recognyze AI community,
In this issue of the newsletter we go beyond our usual topics because we want you to benefit from a special offer to get early access, at a special discount, to what promises to become a classic: Bertrand Meyer's just published AI for Smarties: Understanding Artificial Intelligence.
Have you been frustrated at the lack of a good text explaining the fundamentals of AI in a hype-free, clear, simple and effective way? Then AI for Smarties is for you.
The book is a general introduction to AI, presenting the technology as clearly as possible. It does not shy away from the technical aspects and in particular the math, but explains everything and assumes no special knowledge from the reader.
Quoting the author:
One of the reasons for writing this book was that I kept running into people with a good education who were fascinated by AI but had no clue of what’s inside; unable, for example, to answer such questions as “what does a neuron in a neural network actually compute”? The book explains this and all the essentials, all the way to transformers (the explanations for which in the literature are, in my experience, often nebulous, complicated and confusing).
AI for Smarties also discusses many practical aspects of AI, with two chapters on education (one about self-learning and the other about educational institutions) and chapters respectively on using AI properly, the risks of AI (hallucinations, IP looting, AGI, good form covering bad substance etc.), organizing one’s career in the presence of AI, and of course the effect on software development. It also analyzes the issues of IP protection in the age of AI, the basis for Recognyze AI.
Special discount for Recognyze followers: the book costs €29.95, with a current introductory discount of €5. As a member of the Recognyze AI mailing list you get an extra discount of €3, bringing the total cost to €21.95. Just enter the code RECOGNYZE-SUBSCRIBERS on checkout. The offer is valid until July 31.
A great way to get solid knowledge and advice on the most important technology of the 21st century!
