Summary

From Oxford's leading AI researcher comes a fun and accessible tour through the history and future of one of the most cutting edge and misunderstood field in science: Artificial Intelligence

The somewhat ill-defined long-term aim of AI is to build machines that are conscious， self-aware， and sentient; machines capable of the kind of intelligent autonomous action that currently only people are capable of。 As an AI researcher with 25 years of experience， professor Mike Wooldridge has learned to be obsessively cautious about such claims， while still promoting an intense optimism about the future of the field。 There have been genuine scientific breakthroughs that have made AI systems possible in the past decade that the founders of the field would have hailed as miraculous。 Driverless cars and automated translation tools are just two examples of AI technologies that have become a practical， everyday reality in the past few years， and which will have a huge impact on our world。



While the dream of conscious machines remains， Professor Wooldridge believes， a distant prospect， the floodgates for AI have opened。 Wooldridge's A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence is an exciting romp through the history of this groundbreaking field--a one-stop-shop for AI's past， present， and world-changing future。

I't a nice introduction to the AI， from history to classification， and good discussions on the AI impact in the modern society， education and challenges due bias and lack of diversity to develop AI models。 If you need a starting point， I strongly recommend。 I't a nice introduction to the AI， from history to classification， and good discussions on the AI impact in the modern society， education and challenges due bias and lack of diversity to develop AI models。 If you need a starting point， I strongly recommend。 。。。more

An engaging and easy to read history of AI that also speculates about the future。 The author draws on AI， psychological， and philosophical literature to create an interesting narrative。 By exploring distinct phases of AI research， how they went wrong， and where we might go from where we are， the author demonstrates the nature of knowledge generating disciplines and embraces the importance of paradigm shifts。

Starts off with very basic knowledge， but gets more interesting as it progresses。

It's an overview of AI， with about an equal balance of history and current issues。 Falls into the uncanny valley of "too technical for people who are completely non-technical， but not technical or detailed or interesting enough if you're at all technical"， I think， unfortunately。There was nothing wrong in the book， it was just very boring。 Maybe I've read enough about both the history of AI and participation in some of the modern deployments， so maybe I'm overly negative。 I can't think of what o It's an overview of AI， with about an equal balance of history and current issues。 Falls into the uncanny valley of "too technical for people who are completely non-technical， but not technical or detailed or interesting enough if you're at all technical"， I think， unfortunately。There was nothing wrong in the book， it was just very boring。 Maybe I've read enough about both the history of AI and participation in some of the modern deployments， so maybe I'm overly negative。 I can't think of what other book I'd recommend more as a "history of AI" for non-technical folks， though。 。。。more

Somewhat difficult to review。 Would have preferred either denser history， or more technical discussion。 But what's here is well-written， sober unvarnished。 Cautiously optimistic about the future， avoiding both the fear that machines will take over the world and the unrealistic hope that machines will make our lives so easy we'll be totally at our leisure。 Dogged naturalism when it came to the discussion of personality was， of course， unfortunate， but not exactly unforeseen。 Somewhat difficult to review。 Would have preferred either denser history， or more technical discussion。 But what's here is well-written， sober unvarnished。 Cautiously optimistic about the future， avoiding both the fear that machines will take over the world and the unrealistic hope that machines will make our lives so easy we'll be totally at our leisure。 Dogged naturalism when it came to the discussion of personality was， of course， unfortunate， but not exactly unforeseen。 。。。more

Excellent introduction and history to AI for people that want to understand this important trend beyond the marketing hype。
