ABOUT THE BOOK
AI FOR THE ORDINARY
“AI for the Ordinary: A Non-technical Playbook for Citizens, Students, and Managers” by Raghu V. Kowshik and Peter J. Sorensen turns artificial intelligence from a black box into a friendly, everyday companion. No code. No jargon. Just clear explanations, real stories, and practical ways AI already touches your life, from the autocomplete on your phone to medical diagnostics, smart budgeting, and modern classrooms.
The authors guide you through AI’s evolution and use today in four approachable parts, translating big ideas into relatable moments. Their voice is conversational, more like a kitchen-table chat than a lecture, so concepts stick, and curiosity grows. Along the way, they tackle the hard questions too: privacy, bias, fairness, and how to use AI responsibly.
This book doesn’t ask you to be a spectator. It invites you to participate, think critically, ask better questions, and shape how AI appears at home, work, and in your community. The result is part primer, part playbook, and part call to stewardship.
