Minds Made of Math

About this book

Artificial intelligence is the most talked about technology on Earth and one of the least understood. People use it every day without knowing what it is, fear it without knowing how it works, and argue about its future without knowing its past. Minds Made of Math is the one book that explains all of it, clearly, from the beginning. It starts with the simplest question, what is AI, and answers it honestly, including why the answer keeps changing. Then it lays out every form AI takes, as a family: the rule followers, the searchers, the learners, the explorers who learn by trial and error, the creators, the watchers and listeners, the robots with hands, and the new agents that plan and act.
