Explore the foundational concepts and algorithms behind modern artificial intelligence (AI), including neural networks, machine learning, and deep learning. Gaining insight into these technologies unveils AI's vast potential beyond generative models like ChatGPT.

AI rarely seems to be out of the news. Sometimes, it’s to highlight an innovative new approach to healthcare, diagnosing illnesses like cancer early and improving the chance of survival. However, more often than not, it is bad news, such as the creation of fake images (Figure 1) and videos or the ethical questions around using copyrighted material to train new AI models. However, for the engineer and the technically interested, little is said about the algorithms behind such AI tools, how data needs to be prepared, and how it’s deployed in applications outside the focus areas of the mainstream media.
