Essential Science: Artificial Intelligence

Well, this one was a bit ahead of its time … and by now, with all the recent rapid developments in AI, is very much out of date! Still, I feel it presents a really good history and basic idea of the theory and technologies behind certain kinds of artificial intelligence. I really enjoyed writing it. Accompanying this title is Essential Science: Digital Revolution, which I wrote in the same year. Both books were part of a series conceived by John Gribbin and published by DK:

“Making science more accessible than ever before! The Essential Science series makes the difficult and fascinating world of cutting-edge science accessible to everyone with a stimulating mix of lively illustrations and jargon-free text. Important scientific theories are explained clearly in these authoritative guides that feature cross-references, glossaries, and thorough indexes.”
