It is a good read for executives wanting to learn about large language models. It offers a concise yet comprehensive overview, covering everything from core concepts to practical use cases to ethical concerns. The writing is straightforward, making it accessible for those without deep technical knowledge. While it delves more into ethical issues than I'd prefer, it’s expected given the book's focus. Overall, I’d give it a 7/10 for successfully balancing breadth and simplicity.

I highly recommend this series of books. Next to the books that I have written of course, these are the best out there for learning AI and its potential. There is an online course that goes with this series that I also highly recommend.

Comprehensive
There was some basic information in the book, but for the most part, I've learned many new things about LLMs and how complex they are, especially the ethical side.
