The AI Pocketbook

The AI Pocketbook crams everything you need to know about AI into one short volume you can fit into your pocket. You’ll take a peek inside the AI black box for an overview of transformers, LLMs, hallucinations, tokens, and embeddings, along with the modern ecosystem of AI models and tools. You’ll find out when putting AI first fails your customers, understand how to get from “almost good enough” to “excellent,” and pick up some tips for dealing with the inevitable, potentially expensive, screw ups.

In The AI Pocketbook you’ll understand:

• AI jargon (there’s lots of it!)
• Where AI fits within your field of technology
• Why AI hallucinates—and what to do about it
• What to do when AI comes for your job
• Balancing skepticism with unrealistic expectations

The AI Pocketbook gives you Emmanuel Maggiori’s unvarnished and opinionated take on where AI can be useful, and where it still kind of sucks. Whatever your tech field, this short-and-sweet guide delivers the facts and techniques you’ll need in the workplace of the present.
