  3. AI FOR EVERYBODY
    AI FOR EVERYBODY
    MOHAMMAD ALBILTAJI

    AI is basically a very well-optimized math system pretending to sound like a person. That's it. That's the whole secret.This book explains exactly how, no math, no code, no jargon. Just a straight conversation about what's actually happening inside the machine everyone won't stop talking about.

  4. Trustworthy AI
    Trustworthy AI
    Risk Governance under NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001
    Andrii Bogdanovych

    Fragment 1 — Chapter 1, "Introduction": why AI governance is a governance question, not an engineering oneWhen an organization first faces a decision to deploy an AI system — whether a credit-scoring model, an automated resume-screening tool, or a customer-support chatbot — the most common governance mistake is to treat that decision like an ordinary IT project: define the requirements, select a vendor, implement, and hand the system over to operations. Artificial intelligence technologies do rely on software and computing infrastructure, and in that sense they resemble any other IT initiative. But they differ in how they generate risk, and that difference calls for a distinct governance approach rather than a simple extension of familiar project management.Risk-oriented AI governance starts from a different premise: before discussing rollout timelines, budgets, or functional requirements, an organization has to answer the question "what adverse consequences could this system cause, for whom, with what likelihood, and how severe would they be" — and, alongside it, "how much of that harm are we willing to tolerate for the expected benefit." Fragment 2 — Chapter 3, "Trustworthy AI: Seven Characteristics of Trust": why explainability and interpretability are not synonymsConsider an AI system that automatically sorts incoming support tickets by priority. Explainability answers the "how" question: which features of the incoming text (keywords, tone, customer history) contributed to the computed priority score and with what weight — a technical account of the computation mechanism. Interpretability answers the "why" question for this particular ticket in the context of the system's business purpose — that is, whether a high priority score means "this customer is losing money right now" or "this customer is statistically likely to cancel," and whether that meaning matches how a support agent should act on it. The two characteristics support each other but serve different governance needs: explainability matters more to the engineer debugging the model, interpretability matters more to the agent or manager who must act on the system's output without understanding its internal mechanics. Fragment 3 — Chapter 18, "The Running Case": where ISO and NIST illuminate each other's blind spotsPrecisely because NIST explicitly requires, in its own standalone subcategory, a designated authority to deactivate a system, and no direct equivalent exists in Annex A of ISO, an organization that implements only ISO/IEC 42001 without checking it in parallel against the AI RMF risks missing this requirement altogether — it dissolves between the adjacent, but not identical, controls A.6.2.5 (release criteria) and A.3.2 (roles and responsibilities). This is a compelling, concrete example of the argument the book already made back in Chapter 1: the two frameworks do not compete but mutually illuminate each other's blind spots. Fragment 4 — Chapter 18, the book's closing paragraphAI risk management, as this book has shown it, never concludes with a signed document. It concludes — and immediately begins again — with the next MAP cycle, the next internal audit, the next policy review, the next model version, which has to be brought into operation just as thoroughly documented, traceable, and responsibly managed as the one before it.

    From Zero to Agents - A Foundational AI/ML Course, Built From First Principles
    Volume 1: Language, Math, and Neural Networks from Scratch
    Junaid Hassan

    A from-scratch AI/ML course that treats you like an engineer, not a tourist — three modules covering language-as-numbers, the math foundations, and neural networks, each concept built in raw Python first, then PyTorch, so you always know what's really happening under the hood.

    Understanding AI Agents in 15 Minutes
    What an agent really is, how one is built, and what happened when we ran three of them together

  11. AI Engineer - Interview book

    You already know how to build software.You can design APIs, debug production incidents, reason about latency, operate databases, and ship features that people rely on. But AI engineering interviews ask a different set of questions:How do you design a RAG system that does not confidently invent answers? When should you use an agent—and when is a simple workflow safer? How do you evaluate an LLM feature when quality can decline without an error message? How do you control token costs, defend against prompt injection, and safely deploy a prompt change?AI Engineer – Interview Book bridges the gap between being a capable software engineer and being ready for an AI engineering interview.Learn how to reason about models, retrieval, agents, evaluations, cost, latency, safety, and production failure modes. Practice answers out loud. Learn the trade-offs behind the right answer—not just the vocabulary.Stop preparing for yesterday’s system-design interview. Start preparing to build AI systems that work in the real world.

    De la Vivencia al Sistema
    Libro 1 · Un Marco Teórico-Metodológico para la Gestión Sistémica mediante Interacción Dialógica con IA

  14. Full-Length Practice Exams
    Full-Length Practice Exams
    Where the domains meet — which is where the exam lives
    Hatem M.

    The eight volumes before this one each teach a single domain, and each is deliberatelyself-contained. The exams do not ask about domains — they ask about systems, and a system spansall of them at once. "A retrieval system is slow, expensive and occasionally wrong — which do you fix first?" needsretrieval, optimisation and operations together. Every one of the 150 questions here crosses atleast two domains, because that is the specific thing a single-domain book cannot teach you.

  15. Safety, Ethics and Compliance
    Safety, Ethics and Compliance
    The arithmetic underneath the assurances
    Hatem M.

    "The model is safe." "The filter is effective." "We red-teamed it and found nothing." "Wereviewed a sample and it looked fine." Each of those is a claim about evidence, and each is unfalsifiable as stated. Reviewing thirtyoutputs and finding no problems is consistent with a failure rate of one in eleven. Threehundred tests against a thousand possible failure modes leave seven hundred nobody looked at. This book supplies the missing arithmetic — and it was written without generating a singleharmful output to study.
