The world had been fascinated with astronauts and spaceflight since well before the first crewed launches in 1961, when Yuri Gagarin, Alan Shepard, and John Glenn became household names. But when Alexei Leonov of the Soviet Union exited his spacecraft in March of 1965, a new era in spaceflight began. And when Ed White, clad in his gleaming space suit with a large American flag on his left shoulder, eased himself outside his Gemini spacecraft later that year, Americans too had a new space hero. They also learned a new acronym: EVA, short for extravehicular activity, more commonly known as "spacewalking."

L'Intelligenza Artificiale ha superato i confini degli ambienti accademici e tecnologici, diventando argomento di conversazioni quotidiane e presenza costante anche nelle nostre tasche, come dimostra l'app di ChatGPT. Tuttavia, la comprensione spesso si ferma qui, confondendo l'intero campo dell'IA con una singola applicazione. Questo libro offre una panoramica accessibile e divulgativa dell'IA, illustrandone l'evoluzione dalla sua nascita negli anni '50 fino ad oggi, con una doppia focalizzazione sul Machine Learning e sull'IA Generativa. Questi concetti vengono spiegati in modo intuitivo e semplice attraverso l'analisi di app di uso quotidiano come Netflix, Google Maps e Spotify. Il culmine è l'applicazione di questi concetti nella gestione del Binary Bistrot, un'impresa immaginaria che diventa il nostro laboratorio per l'innovazione. In conclusione, il testo analizza anche gli impatti etici dell'IA nel mondo del lavoro e nel rispetto dei diritti individuali.
