Recently, I read the Book AI-rupe/एआय-रूपे: 'कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ते'ची 'विविध क्षेत्रातील रूपे by Dr. Yogesh Kulkarni, and it instantly reminded me of a line from अग्निपंख (the Marathi translation of Wings of Fire, the autobiography by visionary scientist Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam).
"भविष्यातील संधींबद्दल चिंता करू नये. त्यापेक्षा अद्ययावत तंत्रज्ञानाचा शास्त्रशुध्द पाया पक्का करून बुध्दी धारदार बनवावी."
From the very title to the way the concepts are articulated, I was deeply impressed. What stood out to me is how the author explains complex AI concepts using simple, relatable examples in Marathi, making them accessible to everyone.
What you will learn from AI-rupe/एआय-रूपे –
🎯 What is AI, Machine Learning, AI Agent, ChatGPT, and GenAI?
🎯 How does ChatGPT work?
🎯 Can we fully trust and depend on ChatGPT or similar AI tools?
🎯 Current applications of AI across industries and domains
🎯 Future possibilities of AI adoption
🎯 Impact of AI on society (job security, privacy, etc.)
🎯 What Ethical AI and Responsible AI really mean
🎯 Challenges of Generative AI and the importance of usage policies
🎯 Practical ways to learn and explore AI
In my opinion, this book is a must-read for anyone, regardless of their field. Because it builds awareness, clears misconceptions, and leaves you with a positive, forward-looking perspective about AI.
As I shared in my earlier LinkedIn post, before reading this book, I believed my मराठी vocabulary was fairly strong. But AI-rupe/एआय-रूपे truly humbled me while also enriching my शब्दसंग्रह. Many terms introduced in the book are worth carrying into daily Marathi conversations 😀, such as:

One particular line from the book that I really liked -
"मानवी आणि कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्तेतील संघर्षापेक्षा, त्यांच्या बलस्थानांचा उपयोग करून घेणे अधिक महत्वाचे आहे."
This highlights the true spirit of AI, not about competition between humans and machines, but about leveraging the strengths of both.
Overall, AI-rupe/एआय-रूपे is an excellent book. Whether you are an AI enthusiast, a skeptic, a beginner, a practitioner, or even an expert, this book has something valuable to offer.
If this sparks your interest, I highly recommend picking up a copy. You may also want to follow Yogesh Sir on LinkedIn to gain more insights from his posts on AI.
And always remember -
"ज्ञानसंपादन हा आयुष्यातला कधीही रीता न होणारा खजिना आहे. कधी कधी ते कालबाह्य होते हा अपवाद सोडला तर कुणीही ते तुमच्याकडून हिरावून घेऊ शकत नाही." 😊
Happy Learning
