Welcome to AI

Prof. Shrier presents a fantastic introduction to AI in a well-organized short book. Although he relies heavily on AI applications in business, I find this book helpful for non-business students. He structures his book in three parts that cover what AI is, how humans can complement AI's capabilities with critical thinking—so that we don't get displaced in the job market, no less—and what the future might hold for us in the growing human-AI systems. I wish Chapter 6 ("What Can Human+AI Systems Do?") were expanded slightly. However, I understand Prof. Shrier might have kept it shorter for length constraints. It's a great read overall.
