<p>A small book&nbsp;that introduces key Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts in an easy-to-read format with examples and illustrations.&nbsp; A complex, long, overly mathematical textbook does not always serve the purpose of conveying the basic AI concepts to most people. Someone with basic knowledge in Computer Science&nbsp; can have a quick overview of AI (heuristic searches, genetic algorithms, expert systems, game trees, fuzzy expert systems,&nbsp; natural language processing, super intelligence,&nbsp; etc.) with everyday examples. If you are taking a basic AI course and find the traditional AI textbooks intimidating, you may choose this as a "bridge" book, or as an introductory textbook.&nbsp;&nbsp; (This is old edition -- a new revised edition is currently available.)</p>
