(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- In AI For the Rest of Us, available now from Bloomsbury, Sairam Sundaresan reveals AI's true nature: not cyborg sci-fi overlords, but clever tricks, surprising simplicity, and the human creativity teaching computers to, well, 'think'.

Understanding arrives in the form of playful puzzles (why AI sees your pooch as a pastry!), witty explanations, and charming drawings, from a guide passionate that AI's core ideas are for everyone. Sundaresan helps you see AI's 'smarts' unfold by showing how a robot (eventually!) learns a dance, how it finds logic in 'king – man + woman = queen', or even cooks up faces so lifelike, you might recognize them. His signature doodles illuminate ideas, transforming baffling complexity into moments of pure, delightful clarity. From first building blocks to modern marvels like AI that chats, creates art, or decides what you buy, this book is your exhilarating ticket to understanding the AI age.

Sairam Sundaresan is a seasoned Machine Learning Research Scientist with over 14 years of experience in the tech industry. He currently spearheads advanced AI projects at Valeo, managing a large team of researchers who teach automobiles to understand the world around them. Before this, he pioneered research at Intel Labs centered on deep learning algorithms, specifically algorithm-hardware co-design and multimodal models.

Sairam is an alumnus of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, from where he holds a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering: Systems. There, he specialized in Computer Vision, Signal Processing, and Machine Learning. This academic foundation underpins his work, enabling him to integrate practical applications with a robust understanding of theoretical principles. Outside the lab, Sairam is an award-winning nature photographer, illustrator, and writer. These perspectives enhance his problem-solving approach and fuel his creativity. Additionally, Sairam regularly shares his thoughts about AI in his Gradient Ascent newsletter.

AI For the Rest of Us is now available for sale on Amazon.
