Understanding & Using Generative AI: Learn how AI works, write better prompts, and use AI responsibly

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but knowing that AI exists is very different from knowing how to actually use it.

Understanding & Using Generative AI is a practical, beginner-friendly guide to understanding and using one of the most important technologies shaping the way we work, learn, create, and solve problems.

You don’t need a technical background, programming experience, or a degree in computer science to get started. This book breaks down artificial intelligence and generative AI in clear, everyday language, helping you understand what happens behind the scenes without drowning you in complicated technical jargon. You’ll learn the difference between traditional AI and generative AI, what tools such as AI chatbots can actually do, where they have limitations, and how to work with them effectively rather than simply asking questions and hoping for good answers.

By the end of the book, you should have a practical understanding of what generative AI is, how it works at a high level, how to communicate with it effectively, and how to make it a useful part of your everyday workflow.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
