Book Description
This open book provides a comprehensive and technically grounded exploration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) within the context of modern librarianship and information science. Authored by Martin Frické, it moves beyond theoretical discussion to focus on practical applications and the underlying architecture of contemporary AI systems.
The text methodically covers the intellectual foundation of AI, the evolution of chatbots, and the core mechanics of language models - from Markov chains to the transformative Transformer architecture. It offers detailed examinations of Large Language Models (LLMs), Foundation Models, and the latest advancements in Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) like GPT-4V, including their capabilities in image analysis, reasoning, and code generation.
A significant portion is dedicated to critical, real-world technical challenges, including model bias, unfairness, hallucination, and the practical steps for evaluating model reliability and alignment. It directly addresses the opportunities for librarians and information professionals, positioning them as synergists, sentries, and educators in an AI-driven landscape. The appendices provide valuable hands-on guidance on working with LLMs, prompt engineering, and important methodological concepts like the base-rate fallacy.
This book is an essential resource for developers, data scientists, information architects, and technical library professionals seeking to understand and implement AI technologies effectively and ethically.
