Artificial intelligence is already in your hands. The question is whether you'll use it with judgment - or just push the buttons.

Practical AI, Independent Learner's Edition is a self-paced field guide to working with AI: the thinking behind it, not a list of features that will be obsolete by next term. Built around a single durable lens - judgment, honesty, scrutiny, and friction - every chapter pairs plain-English explanation with hands-on "Try This" practice and review questions, so you learn to question the tool rather than trust it blindly.

Written for self-taught learners of all ages - homeschoolers, career-changers, and the simply curious, working without a classroom around them - it takes you from your first real conversation with AI to advanced techniques: writing and editing, research and reasoning, working with data and code, and building practical workflows, always with the human kept firmly in the loop. Each chapter ends with a summary, key terms to define in your own words, and questions that check your understanding - so you can pace yourself and know when you've truly got it.

Part of the three-edition Practical AI line (Student, Annotated Instructor's, and Independent Learner's editions). The technology will keep changing; the judgment it teaches will last.
