Read in 2026, kinda dated by now. Generally good writing and topic coverage. I wish they would have either chose to do purely an into to ai or people ai for security book as the explanations were good for an intro but not deep and the examples were likewise okay as a conceptual application to security but felt very much like toy examples. Some explanations were poorly written.

bonus points for the GitHub repo with the sample code and datasets.

skimmed through it quickly in less than half a day to learn more about AI and ML applications in security. Lot of practical examples in this book. I liked that a lot.

Skimmed through the book. The author explains AI concepts clearly. It's a short read and plenty of examples to help understand the content better
