The primary audience for this textbook are professors and advanced-level students in Computer Science. The textbook spans three overarching categories: "Deductive Reasoning Methods" (Chapters 1 to 5), "Inductive Learning Methods" (Chapters 6 to 10) and "Integrating Reasoning and Learning" (Chapters 11 and 12).

I was updating The Simon Laven Page one day and then went back to reading this book. While not an Artificial Intelligence book as such its argument that "the next revolution in games isn't technological - it's emotional" focuses heavily on the development of emotionally deep natural language characters.

In his challenging book, Dyson surrounds contemporary topics related to
emerging information networks with historical context, illustrating an evolutionary dance between
intelligence, nature, and machines.

Marvin Minsky probes deeper into the question of natural intelligence. Do not look for simple explanations: he believes "we need to find more complicated ways to explain our most familiar mental events", rejecting the idea of consciousness as a unitary "Self" in favor of "a decentralized cloud" of more than 20 distinct mental processes.

Some love it, some hate it, but The Emperor's New Mind, physicist Roger Penrose's 1989 treatise
attacking the foundations of strong artificial intelligence, is crucial for anyone interested in the history
of thinking about AI and consciousness.

Making his key writings are made available to a broad, non-specialist readership for the first time. The collection includes Turing's declassified wartime 'Treatise on the Enigma'; letters from Turing to Churchill and to codebreakers; lectures, papers, and broadcasts which opened up the concept of AI and its implications; and the paper which formed the genesis of the investigation of Artificial Life.

Following all aspects of the design, implementation, and evaluation of embodied conversational agents as well as details of specific working systems. Many of the chapters are written by multidisciplinary teams of psychologists, linguists, computer scientists, artists, and researchers in interface design.

Over thirty-five years after it topped the bestseller charts, Gφdel, Escher, Bach
is still something of a marvel. Besides being a profound and entertaining
meditation on human thought and creativity, it also looks at
the prospects for computers and artificial intelligence for mimicking human thought.

Exploring the relation between the computer revolution and our changing ideas of what it means to be a human
being. Her pet theme: how information became an entity in itself, divorced from the material that
carries it in both science and literature.

If the predicted breakthroughs occur and superhuman AI emerges, we will have created entities far more powerful than ourselves. Russell suggests before that we should rebuild AI on a new foundation that would make them humble, altruistic, and committed to pursue the objectives of humanity. Read more...
Documenting his experience in the 2009 Loebner Prize the poet and science writer investigates the nature of human interactions, the meaning of language, and the essence of what sets us apart from machines that can process information far faster than we can. Read more...
Jeff Hawkins, the man who created the PalmPilot, unites two fields of study that have been moving uneasily toward one another for at least two decades: computers and brains. Most people think that maybe someday, computers will be as smart as we humans are. But Hawkins explains why the way we build computers today won't take us down that path.

David Ewing Duncan considers 24 visions of possible human-robot futures from Teddy Bots to Warrior Bots, and Politician Bots. Mostly it is told by an unnamed narrator from the future. Most scenarios in the narrative are informed by interviews in the present day with engineers, scientists, artist, philosophers, futurists and others. Read more...
Presents a formal approach to dealing with agents and agent systems
providing a good introduction to agents, while also drilling down to some fascinating and deep issues in multi-agent systems. Read more...
