A detailed narrative explaining the mathematics that has paved the way for machine learning and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence.
Machine learning systems are making critical decisions that impact our lives: from approving mortgage loans and assessing whether a tumor is malignant to determining bail eligibility. They play a significant role in advancements across fields like chemistry, biology, and physics—encompassing studies of genomes, extrasolar planets, and the complexities of quantum systems. This all began even before large language models like ChatGPT emerged.
We are experiencing a remarkable transformation in AI driven by machine learning, with no signs of deceleration. This technology relies on relatively straightforward mathematical concepts, some of which trace back centuries, such as linear algebra and calculus, foundational elements of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century mathematics. It required the genesis and evolution of computer science, along with the development of 1990s gaming chips, to trigger the current boom in AI. In this enlightening book, Anil Ananthaswamy elucidates the essential math underlying machine learning, while proposing captivating connections between artificial and natural intelligence. Could the same mathematics be the foundation for both?
As Ananthaswamy aptly concludes, to safely and effectively utilize artificial intelligence, we must grasp its significant capabilities and limitations, pointers to which can be found in the mathematics that facilitate machine learning.
