“Everyone needs to know about artificial intelligence now, but how should I study it?”
ChatGPT, autonomous driving, deepfakes, chatbots, AI speakers, generative AI…
Everything you need to know about artificial intelligence, which has become deeply ingrained in our daily lives but is still unfamiliar to us!

Even when AlphaGo, developed by Google DeepMind, won the match against 9-dan Go player Lee Sedol in 2016, people thought that artificial intelligence only excelled in certain fields.
The emergence of omnipotent artificial intelligence in movies was thought to be a thing of the distant future.
However, when OpenAI introduced ChatGPT on November 30, 2022, the world suddenly entered the era of artificial intelligence.
Unlike previous models, ChatGPT gave me the feeling of talking to a real person, and it was surprising how easily it answered any question.
ChatGPT quickly gained 100 million users since its launch, ushering in the era of artificial intelligence as the fastest-growing software in history.
Big tech companies like Microsoft, Google, and Meta have all embarked on research and development and investment in artificial intelligence.

Now, two years later in 2024, artificial intelligence can be easily found in smartphones, home appliances like refrigerators and vacuum cleaners, cars, and airplanes.
In addition, the use of artificial intelligence is gradually increasing in sports, finance, and medicine, and even in creative fields such as literature, art, and music, attempts are being made to utilize artificial intelligence.
It is difficult to find a field that is not related to artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is developing so rapidly that we hear new news every day.
Artificial intelligence has now become a major concern not only for related industries but also for everyone.
"AI Study in One Minute, One Word a Day" is a book that selects 100 essential AI-related words and explains them one by one from the basics in an easy-to-understand manner. It is the best introductory book for readers who are just beginning to take an interest in artificial intelligence.
Especially for young people, studying artificial intelligence is essential because it is like understanding the system itself of the future society in which they will live.
If you want to learn about artificial intelligence but don't know where to start, I recommend you open this book.
It will lead you to the amazing world of artificial intelligence.


Master the fundamentals of AI with 100 key keywords!
AI experts select only the topics essential for understanding AI.
An essential introductory course on AI, designed to be easily accessible to young people.

This book consists of a total of 10 chapters.
It is divided into basic concepts, history, machine learning, deep learning, application areas, technology and tools, key figures and organizations, AI ethics, AI in popular culture, and the future of AI, allowing you to learn the basics step by step.
To ensure that each concept is thoroughly understood, the book provides a variety of examples to help readers understand each word, and provides a variety of materials, including pictures, photos, and tables, to enhance readers' understanding.
We aimed to include the most up-to-date information to reflect the rapidly changing situation, and the most important concerns at this point in time were introduced in more detail in a separate appendix, "Reading the World with AI."


The basic concepts and technical details introduced in the previous chapters may seem somewhat difficult, but they are essential for understanding artificial intelligence, so we have tried to explain them as simply as possible.
In the field of artificial intelligence applications, we looked at the various artificial intelligence technologies currently being used in our lives, and looked at how far they will develop in the future and the various issues that must be considered in the process.
The chapter on key figures and organizations related to AI features names we frequently see and hear in the news today.
It is an interesting read as it examines the characteristics of each person and organization, as well as the relationships between them, and even the direction of development of artificial intelligence they pursue.

Each of the 100 keywords tells its own story, but they're all connected. By the end of this book, you'll be able to visualize the big picture of the new world of artificial intelligence.
You will look upon another dimension of the world that was vague and frightening with eyes of curiosity and anticipation.


“In the near future, entire social systems will operate on the basis of artificial intelligence.”
The smartest way to prepare for the future: studying AI literacy.

AI literacy, or the ability to understand AI, does not simply mean knowledge of artificial intelligence technology.
It includes areas that consider everything from how the technology will impact society as a whole, how it can be used meaningfully and usefully, to what problems may arise as the technology develops.
The ability to manage AI so that it can be used as a useful tool in human life is AI literacy.


Advances in AI technology will undoubtedly bring dramatic changes to our lives.
It will bring convenience in all aspects, increase productivity through faster and more accurate work processing, and free people from simple labor.
On the other hand, there are also loud voices expressing concern about the rapid development of AI.
As discussed in Chapter 8 of this book, the ethical issues of AI are also becoming increasingly important topics of discussion in society, including privacy violations, AI bias, a fatal flaw of AI, hallucination, a generative AI that tells plausible lies, and killer robots.
A representative example is the recent emergence of deepfake sexually exploitative videos as a serious social problem.
Deep learning technology has made it possible to create fake videos with incredible ease, leading to widespread widespread serious crime.
Additionally, fake news can influence election results and cause stock market fluctuations.


The era of artificial intelligence, once seen only in movies and books, is now becoming a reality.
What will happen if we lose sight of the goal of "human-centered AI" and focus solely on technological development? "AI Study: One Word a Day, One Minute" illustrates the positive changes and dynamic future that AI advancements will bring, while also providing food for thought on the ethics of AI that we must not overlook.
This book, which introduces artificial intelligence in a balanced way through 100 key keywords, will serve as the ultimate guide for developing AI literacy through reading and discussion.
