AI for Newbies is a clear, no-bullshit guide that shows you how to use modern AI tools in real life without a tech background or a math degree. It opens by explaining what AI actually is, how systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and others work, and why they are powerful but far from magic. From there, the book walks you step by step through using AI for everyday work like writing, research, coding help, creative projects and small-business tasks, always with a focus on staying in control instead of letting the tools think for you. You learn how to write better prompts, build simple automations, and turn AI into a force multiplier for your time instead of another distraction. The author also digs into the messy side of AI such as privacy risks, deepfakes, bias, copyright and job anxiety, and shows you how to use these tools responsibly without getting scammed, misled or screwed. By the end, you finish with practical skills, a basic personal AI stack and enough confidence to experiment, adapt and keep up as the technology keeps changing.
