As someone interested in AI, from a academic perspective, hymn of modernity is the encyclopaedia I had so wished for when first looking into how such tech works. I would say this is a great reference book, on definitions and a basic summary on technical terms, but perhaps not so much a book for those of us well versed in the area.

An informative book about AI and automation. You'll learn a lot about machine learning in this book, but be warned that it reads much like an encyclopedia and is filled with definitions and examples of these terms, without a narrative to complement it. Great as a reference resource.
