Book by Lee Felican Jr.
The BIG AI Book
Understanding AI without the hype or the maths.
What it is about
Most writing about AI is either a technical text that assumes a machine learning background or a breathless forecast that assumes nothing at all. The BIG AI Book is the middle: a plain-language account of what these systems are, how they work well enough to reason about, and where the line between real capability and marketing sits.
It is written for the person who has to make a decision about AI — a business owner, a manager, a professional whose work is changing — rather than for somebody planning to build a model.
Read it if
- You keep nodding along in AI conversations and would rather actually understand it.
- You need to judge vendor claims without taking them on trust.
- You want the concepts, not the mathematics.
- You are deciding whether AI belongs in your business and want to reason about it properly.
