Introduction

Coming soon — this chapter will introduce the field of artificial intelligence, its sub-areas, and the roadmap of this book.

Overview

Artificial intelligence is the study of systems that perceive, reason, and act. This book walks through the ideas, algorithms, and engineering practices that turn data into intelligent behavior — from classical machine learning to modern deep learning and large language models.

What you’ll learn

• Foundations: machine learning, neural networks, optimization
• Modern architectures: CNNs, RNNs, Transformers
• Generative models and large language models
• Practical engineering for real-world AI systems
