It is already used in factories, hospitals, vehicles, power systems, banks, warehouses, smartphones, and digital services.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what does AI actually do in practice? Where does it create real value, and when is traditional automation still the better solution?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtificial Intelligence in the Real World explains how modern AI is applied across industry, business, public services, and everyday life. Instead of focusing on science fiction or exaggerated predictions, the book examines AI as it currently exists: a practical tool for prediction, classification, analysis, optimization, recommendation, and decision support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book explores real applications including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePredictive maintenance and equipment monitoring\u003cbr\u003eMachine vision and automated quality inspection\u003cbr\u003eIndustrial robots and intelligent production systems\u003cbr\u003eEnergy forecasting and power management\u003cbr\u003eHealthcare diagnostics and patient monitoring\u003cbr\u003eTransport, logistics, and route optimization\u003cbr\u003eBanking, finance, and fraud detection\u003cbr\u003eCybersecurity and anomaly detection\u003cbr\u003eAgriculture and precision farming\u003cbr\u003eEducation and personalized learning\u003cbr\u003eSmart cities and public infrastructure\u003cbr\u003eEntertainment and digital recommendation systems\u003cbr\u003eSpace research and autonomous exploration\u003cbr\u003eAI tools used in everyday products and services\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach major application is explained through a practical structure: the real problem, the traditional solution, the AI-based approach, the expected benefits, the limitations, and the conditions required for successful implementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will understand why prediction is the foundation of many useful AI systems, how machine-learning models identify patterns in data, and why the quality of the result depends heavily on the quality of the information used to train and operate the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book also explains where AI fails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn AI system may produce unreliable results when data is incomplete, biased, outdated, incorrectly labeled, or collected from an unstable process. A model can drift as machines, markets, environments, or human behavior change. False alarms, missed events, poor integration, excessive cost, and unnecessary complexity can turn an impressive demonstration into a failed project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecial attention is given to the continued importance of traditional engineering. PLC logic, PID control, fixed rules, protection relays, interlocks, and deterministic systems remain the correct choice whenever predictable behavior, rapid response, explainability, or safety is more important than statistical flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAI should not replace a reliable conventional solution simply because it is newer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will learn how to evaluate whether an AI project is useful, affordable, maintainable, and safe. The book examines the transition from prediction to decision and explains why human responsibility must remain present when AI affects machines, finances, health, safety, or public infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is written for: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngineers and industrial technicians\u003cbr\u003eManagers and business owners\u003cbr\u003eAutomation and maintenance specialists\u003cbr\u003eStudents and educators\u003cbr\u003eTechnology professionals\u003cbr\u003eReaders who want a realistic understanding of AI\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtificial intelligence is powerful, but it is not magic. It does not automatically understand context, guarantee correctness, or remove responsibility from the people who design and use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtificial Intelligence in the Real World provides a balanced and practical guide to what AI can achieve, where it creates measurable benefits, where it introduces risk, and how human expertise and intelligent technology can work together effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Veselin Madzharov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798186729624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Veselin Madzharov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49174350889215,"sku":"9798186729624","price":24.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/artificial-intelligence-in-the-real-veselin-madzharov-9798186729624","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
