‘More than any other book I have seen, AI for Students is an accessible, entertaining, and visual guide, which I hope that many students will read to help move the needle on AI literacy… Beyond that, it’s an absolute pleasure to read.’ – Jason Gulya, Professor of English and Media Communications, Berkeley College, USA

‘I love the format of this book, and how it addresses some key critical concerns before delving into practical tips. It offers an accessible and original way for students to think about AI.’ – Maha Bali is Professor of Practice at the Center for Learning and Teaching at the American University in Cairo

‘The book is designed to take a subject drowning in hype and hand-wringing and make it fun and useful. Josh Thorpe has done an amazing job of explaining the steps students can take to learn with ChatGPT efficiently. The comic-strip format makes big ideas land in seconds, but don’t be fooled by the lightness of touch, as this is intentional and quietly essential. I’ll be recommending it to every student I know.’ – Hosam Al-Samarraie, Professor of Immersive & Digital Design Innovation, University of Leeds, UK

My thanks — please let me know what you think. This is a bucket list moment!
