AI may be the most hyped technical topic ever, making it particularly urgent to cut through the noise and understand the good, the hype, and the ugly
In this impressive book, Bertrand Meyer delivers a masterclass on modern AI. He progressively guides the reader from foundational principles to advanced topics, seamlessly incorporating history, philosophy, societal implications, and key debates—all within a brilliantly engaging and accessible manuscript.
The book is a genuine work of demanding popularization, rooted in the tradition of le gai savoir, or perhaps in the best traditions of geek culture, where intellectual rigor is in no way incompatible with humor, curiosity, and the joy of sharing knowledge without pretension.
