The Deep Learning Revolution

The Deep Learning Revolution (2018) tells the story of how a small group of researchers transformed artificial intelligence by studying how the human brain actually learns. It explores the shift from rule-based programming to data-driven neural networks, revealing how this biological approach created the AI technologies that now power everything from voice assistants to self-driving cars.

• Science buffs and tech enthusiasts who want to understand the foundational principles behind AI tools
• Educators and teachers grappling with how AI is changing classroom dynamics and seeking perspective on the technology's origins and implications
• Anyone concerned about job automation or seeking to understand what makes human intelligence unique and irreplaceable
