Assisting Intelligence

Assisting Intelligence documents first encounters with AI, making the concepts approachable by connecting it to the familiar—from the journey of a golden retriever to the lessons of history—and placing it firmly in the context of learning. It is a journey from a black box to a place of understanding. It provides the fundamentals for grounding agency, authenticity, values, and norms to hold onto.
