The book Uncomplicating Artificial Intelligence: A Book for the Three Human Generations stems from a profound observation of how different generations respond to the relentless wave of technological transformation. Written by three generations, its inspiration was born not in sterile laboratories or think tanks but in the heart of family interactions, where the diversity of perspectives on technology’s role became strikingly evident. This theme gained further depth as Marcos Leal, a seasoned global consulting executive, engaged with thought leaders at the University of California, Berkeley, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In these settings, surrounded by peers adept at using cutting-edge tools, he discerned a fascinating disparity in how individuals grasp and interpret the implications of technology.

This is not an academic tome; it is a roadmap. Leal approaches the subject with the clarity and pragmatism of someone who understands that the true challenge of artificial intelligence is not creating it but demystifying it. His aim is to make AI accessible to all—whether to those who remember life before the internet or those who have never known a world without it.

What makes this book uniquely relevant is not just its content but its creation. True to its theme, the manuscript began as a collaboration with artificial intelligence itself, generating the structure and initial text. This foundation was then meticulously shaped and enriched by Leal’s extensive professional insights, supported by rigorous research and academic grounding.
