What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? What are the potential uses? How does it affect everyday life? These are some of the questions addressed by the new book AI and Chatbots – A Practical Guide for Everyone, which aims to provide clear, open and accessible answers for a broad audience.
Written by Ricardo Queirós, a researcher at INESC TEC in the field of Advanced Computing, the book seeks to demystify AI by offering an introductory, structured and practical overview of current applications and tools. It uses real-world examples and case studies to help readers better understand the subject. According to the author, “in an era where AI is increasingly present in daily life, it has become essential to promote a clear, informed and critical understanding of these technologies”. Designed as a practical guide, the book “is particularly suited to students, teachers, professionals from different sectors, entrepreneurs and anyone curious about technology”.
According to the author, the book “is organised into two complementary parts: the first establishes the foundations of AI, placing key concepts, core areas, applications and challenges into context; the second focuses on chatbots, exploring how they work, the different types, current tools, prompt engineering and development processes”.
Ricardo Queirós has already published 13 technical books, either as sole author or co-author, mainly focused on computing, programming and educational technologies.
The book is currently in pre-release and is available at the main bookshops in Portugal; the official book launch is yet to be confirmed.
The researcher mentioned in this news piece is associated with IPP-ISEP.
