"I’ve always been curious about how artificial intelligence really works, but I often wondered if I was smart enough to truly understand it. Prof. Ronjon Nag explains AI concepts in a way that makes them clear and approachable, without requiring you to be a math whiz—which I’m definitely not. His teaching style makes the subject engaging and accessible"
Jayne Lytel

Author & Publisher

”
I really enjoyed Ronjon Nag’s Crash Course in AI—it’s a clear, hands-on introduction to neural networks, generative AI, and large language models that demystifies how these systems actually “learn.” Plus, I appreciated the thoughtful coverage of ethical and societal implications, and the chance to engage with a seasoned expert who’s spent decades building AI systems.
