    Mastering Artificial Intelligence: From Theory to Practice

    Donat-Soft Mukuna Muya

    Details

    Mastering Artificial Intelligence, From Theory to Practice is an academic textbook that guides the reader from the foundations of AI to its most advanced applications, firmly grounded in the realities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Africa. Structured in eight parts and thirty-five chapters, with hands-on workshops and reference appendices, the book first sets out the history, core concepts and main types of AI, then the technologies that underpin it: machine learning and deep learning, natural language processing and computer vision. It goes on to address generative AI, intelligent agents, prompt engineering and AI-assisted scientific research. Beyond the technical dimension, the textbook advances a central thesis: for Africa, artificial intelligence is not merely a tool for technological catch-up but a genuine matter of sovereignty, involving data, national languages, infrastructure (sovereign cloud, data centres) and public decision-making. Ethics, bias, cybersecurity, geopolitics, regulation and national strategy are treated as conditions for true mastery. Each chapter combines learning objectives, illustrated explanations, summary boxes, Congolese case studies and practical exercises, with the aim of training researchers, professionals and policymakers who can not only use AI, but govern it in the service of their nations. Keywords: artificial intelligence; machine learning; deep learning; generative AI; natural language processing; computer vision; prompt engineering; digital sovereignty; AI governance; ethics and algorithmic bias; cybersecurity; national strategy; Democratic Republic of the Congo; Africa.

    The Great Book of Inventions and Human Intelligence

    Donat-Soft Mukuna Muya

    Details

    This pedagogical manual traces the history of human innovation, from fire to artificial intelligence, through 30 chapters designed for children and adolescents aged 8 to 14 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Organized into six parts, each chapter answers the question "How was this created?" and integrates practical exercises achievable with limited resources. Its aim is to demystify technology and show that innovation has neither nationality nor economic barriers.
