This book is designed to be an introduction to machine learning algorithms for a complete beginner. It starts with an explanation of exactly what machine learning algorithms are and then walks you through the languages and frameworks used to create them. Studying machine learning is considered to be quite challenging due to the impression that special talent is required or some unachievable level of mathematics is needed in order to understand the various algorithms and techniques. But anyone can learn to become a machine learner and put the theory into practice.

This audiobook explains why AI is unique, what legal and ethical problems it could cause, and how we can address them. It argues that AI is unlike any other previous technology, owing to its ability to take decisions independently and unpredictably. This gives rise to three issues: responsibility - who is liable if AI causes harm; rights - the disputed moral and pragmatic grounds for granting AI legal personality; and the ethics surrounding the decision-making of AI.

Dozens of times per day, we all interact with intelligent machines that are constantly learning from the wealth of data now available to them. These machines are remaking the world of the 21st century in the same way that the Industrial Revolution remade the world of the 19th century. AIQ is based on a simple premise: If you want to understand the modern world, then you have to know a little bit of the mathematical language spoken by intelligent machines. AIQ will teach listeners that language - but in an unconventional way, anchored in stories rather than mathematics.
