## Description

How AI Works: From Sorcery to Science [Kneusel, Ronald T.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. How AI Works: From Sorcery to Science

Review: A Clear and Comprehensive Guide to Understanding AI - Ronald Kneusel’s How AI Works: From Sorcery to Science is an exceptional resource for anyone curious about the mechanics and principles behind artificial intelligence. As someone with a background in science and technology, I appreciated how the book bridges the gap between technical depth and accessibility, making it suitable for readers with varying levels of expertise. Kneusel excels at demystifying complex concepts like neural networks, deep learning, and machine learning algorithms. His explanations are clear, engaging, and often supported by visual aids that enhance understanding. I particularly appreciated the historical context he provides, showing how AI evolved from speculative fiction to a transformative scientific field. The book’s structure is logical, with each chapter building on the last. Kneusel doesn’t just explain what AI is but also explores how and why it works, offering a solid foundation for understanding its real-world applications and implications. Whether you’re an AI enthusiast, a student, or a professional looking for a refresher, this book provides valuable insights without overwhelming the reader with jargon. I highly recommend How AI Works for anyone seeking to understand the science behind one of today’s most revolutionary technologies. It’s a fascinating and approachable read that makes AI feel less like “sorcery” and more like an exciting, tangible part of our world.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good information- heavy at times
*by J***G on March 14, 2025*

Provides an interesting overview and background explanation of AI. “Ease of reading” varies widely, however. Some of the more dense content would have been easier to understand with either simpler language or perhaps some visuals (graphs / schematics…?) Maybe AI could help…
