AI Fundamentals: Building Technical Knowledge From the Ground Up
Stop being intimidated by AI. Start understanding it.
AI Fundamentals represents my commitment to democratizing AI knowledge, ensuring that students, professionals, enthusiasts, and anyone curious about AI has the technical literacy needed to participate confidently in the AI revolution.
Artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction – it’s the technology reshaping how we work, communicate, and solve problems across every industry. Yet for most business professionals, AI remains frustratingly opaque. You know it’s important. You know your organization needs to engage with it. But the gap between AI’s obvious significance and your ability to understand and apply it feels insurmountable.
This book eliminates that gap.
The decisions being made about AI development and deployment today will shape technology’s impact on society for decades to come. These decisions shouldn’t be made exclusively by technologists – they require input from business leaders, domain experts, and thoughtful professionals who understand both capabilities and consequences.
By developing genuine AI literacy, you become part of the solution to building AI systems that create value while serving human needs responsibly. The technical knowledge you’ll gain isn’t just professional development – it’s preparation for participating in one of the most important technological transformations in human history.
