utility of AI, beyond the hype, to equip you with the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate
this rapidly evolving technological landscape.

will make you a millionaire. Claims like this are everywhere, playing on our fascination with new
technology and our innate desire for success. But let's be that’s not the purpose of this book.
