AI-Explained (Part I) [Guest Editorial]

As we witness the remarkable progress of artificial intelligence (AI) over the last decade, its potential to address real-world complexities and revolutionize various fields has become evident. From image processing to natural language translation, AI solutions have accomplished significant milestones. However, the growing importance of AI in diverse domains has raised the need for making this complex technology accessible to a broader audience. In this issue, we embark on an educational enterprise, as we endeavor to bridge the knowledge gap between experts and non-experts in the field of AI. Our mission is to present AI concepts and methods in a comprehensible and interactive manner, allowing readers to explore, experiment, and understand the magic behind AI techniques. For this purpose, we are leveraging the recent introduction of immersive articles in IEEE Xplore and the Computational Intelligence Magazine, which allows us to not just present static content, but let readers interactively engage with the articles themselves.
