Introduction to Generative AI

Introduction to Generative AI (Manning Publications) is a book I co-authored with Numa Dhamani. It discusses how large language models work, where they fall short, and the broader economic, legal, and ethical issues that they raise, arguing that the sociotechnical challenges of generative AI require a whole-of-society response. We aimed to make the book accessible to a broad audience, and it’s for anyone interested in this technology, not just engineers. The first edition was released in 2024, and the second edition came out in 2026.

You can order a copy from Manning, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, and a number of other retailers.
