Artificial intelligence (AI) is a diverse field, deeply rooted in machine learning research, information retrieval and stochastic mathematics. And despite the science being far too complex for an average user to really get a grasp on, the advent of AI in everyday life urges every AI end-user to get close and become familiar with its basic concepts. So what is GPT, or an LLM? Does an AI think, or understand? is all this a stroke of genius or AI slop already? What are limits or challenges of artificial intelligence? Can I run my own model locally and is agentic AI a good idea? What makes a good prompt? Questions that every AI would eagerly answer. But what’s yours?This Micropolis Handbooks publication is mainly written in the form of a technical terms glossary, serving as a quick-start guide to artificial intelligence. The text introduces readers to major AI concepts and gives hands-on advice for practical implementation. Structured alphabetically, the book combines short paragraphs and longer insight articles into a volume that invites casual browsing or reading from cover to cover. Some concepts are visualized in black and white illustrations. A reference book and first primer on the fascinating world of deep learning, expert systems and generative AI.
