Artificial Intelligence: A Beginner's Guide (Beginner's Guides)

Thank you, Blay Whitby! Does exactly what it says on the cover, explaining the history of artificial intelligence, its current applications (including washing machines and computer games), and a debate over the future of smart machines. Whitby's approach is necessarily - and thankfully - simplified, but never dumbed down. Each chapter includes a suggested reading list, and there is a helpful bibliography covering further sources at the end of the book.
