Artificial intelligence is everywhere - from self-driving cars, to image generation from text, to the unexpected power of language systems like ChatGPT - yet few people seem to know how it all really works. How AI Works unravels the mysteries of artificial intelligence, without the complex math and unnecessary jargon.
