Artificial Intelligence: A modern approach
Artificial Intelligence is your guide to the theory and practice of modern AI. It introduces major concepts using intuitive explanations and nontechnical language, before going into mathematical or algorithmic details. In-depth coverage of both basic and advanced topics provides you with a solid understanding of the frontiers of AI without compromising complexity and depth. A unified approach to AI clearly details how the various subfields of AI fit together to build actual, useful programs.
The 4th Edition has been updated to stay current with the latest technologies as well as to present concepts in a more unified manner. New chapters feature expanded coverage of probabilistic programming, multiagent decision making, deep learning and deep learning for natural language processing. Revised coverage of computer vision, natural language understanding and speech recognition reflect the impact of deep learning methods on these fields.

Stuart Russell is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley, holder of the Smith-Zadeh Chair in Engineering, and Director of the Center for Human-Compatible AI.
He is a recipient of the IJCAI Computers and Thought Award and held the Chaire Blaise Pascal in Paris. In 2021 he received the OBE from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. He is an Honorary Fellow of Wadham College, Oxford, an Andrew Carnegie Fellow, and a Fellow of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence, the Association for Computing Machinery, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
His book "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach" (with Peter Norvig) is the standard text in AI, used in 1500 universities in 135 countries. His research covers a wide range of topics in artificial intelligence, with a current emphasis on the long-term future of artificial intelligence and its relation to humanity. He has developed a new global seismic monitoring system for the nuclear-test-ban treaty and is currently working to ban lethal autonomous weapons.
Peter Norvig is a Distinguished Education Fellow at Stanford's Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Institute and a researcher at Google Inc; previously he directed Google's core search algorithms group and Google's Research group. He was head of NASA Ames's Computational Sciences Division, where he was NASA's senior computer scientist and a recipient of NASA's Exceptional Achievement Award in 2001.
