Understanding AI

Rose Hall

Book - 2025

"Computers with AI are computers that can teach themselves. Some are getting so clever, it can feel as if you're talking to a person rather than a machine. How does this remarkable technology work? What can it already do? And what might it be able to do in the future? It could make the world a better place... or a scarier one."--Back cover.

  • What is artificial intelligence?
  • How far has AI come?
  • How will the world change?
  • Chapter 1. How does AI work?
  • Al only exists thanks to computers. Find out the basics about what computers are and how they work - before diving into the coding secrets that. explain how people can teach computers to teach themselves.
  • Chapter 2. AI in action
  • Find out how AI is being used in everything from searching the internet to solving crimes, looking after people and even waging war. Perhaps most interesting of all, AI tools have given computers the power to talk to people and even create art in ways that feel more and more human. Find out how these tools work, how smart they can be and their limits, too.
  • Chapter 3. How AI is changing our world
  • As AI-powered machines take on more and more tasks, the way people live is changing. It's not just about what jobs people do - or don't do - anymore. It's about how we make friends and share ideas, and learn about the world. AI might even have the power to solve the climate crisis - or, perhaps, make it worse.
  • Chapter 4. Into the future
  • Some experts are trying to create machines that are just like people. But how similar to a human can a computer program actually be? How much closer might AI ever come to being a "living" thing?
  • What next?
