A is for Algorithm
Every time you hear someone talk about AI, the word algorithm pops up. It's thrown around in tech articles, in sales pitches, and in every LinkedIn post about the future of business. But here's the uncomfortable truth: most people using the word have never actually stopped to explain what it means.
That ends now.
An algorithm is the foundation everything else in AI sits on. Once you understand what an algorithm is, the rest of this book makes sense. You stop being impressed by hype and start seeing what's actually happening inside the tools you use. That knowledge is power, and it's exactly what we're building in this first chapter.
