While not specific to education, this book is a good and accessible introduction to AI, LLMs and other technology surrounding the situation where we current find ourselves.
The author provides several examples, detailed explanations at an accessible and easy-to-understand level.
The book does well to not sugar coat or over promise what AI is capable of doing and is one of the more balance and realistic attitudes on approaching AI.
