If your understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) is limited, this is a good place to start. Don't let the table of contents at the top throw you; it's a good brisk read that won't take you into too much depth. If you do understand AI, then consider this a guide to the common misconceptions you need to work to correct. It's structured along the lines of things the author "used to think" as corrected by her reading of books, listening to podcasts, or talking with writers. Overall it's accurate; I might complain about some of the emphases and nuances (for example: far less knowledge and skills are innate than she suggests). But the author writes educational books for kids. It's always about the main point, and the main points here are useful and accurate.
