Street-Smart AI: Thriving in the Age of Artificial Intelligence isn’t your typical tech manual. It’s a survival guide for the fast-changing world we live in — written in plain language, with real-life examples, and for real people.
Artificial Intelligence isn’t just for Silicon Valley engineers or Fortune 500 CEOs anymore. It’s here, it’s powerful, and it’s shaping every part of our lives — from the way we work, to the way we learn, to the way we hustle. The question is no longer “Is AI coming?” The question is: “Are you ready to use it?”
Drawing from life lessons on the block, in business, and in the grind of everyday survival, John Paul Figueroa breaks down AI without the hype, fear, or jargon. With a mix of storytelling, practical strategies, and straight talk, this book shows you how to:
