Artificial Intelligence can be defined as the ability of machines to imitate human behavior and has come a long way – from nightmares and mad dreams to self-driving cars and automated factories. We bring you a list of artificial intelligence books that showcase rabid speculations, rich history, and intriguing (yet bizarre) theories from the world of artificial intelligence.

Here’s a list of seven artificial intelligence books you must read in 2019:

1. Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

This one’s a gem for those of you who are interested in A.I space and want to gain a deeper understanding of the same.

This tops the list of artificial intelligence books because this book allows you to explore new spheres and develop a deeper understanding of the whole concept so that you know what’s coming next. 

This classic provides a perfect introduction to the science of reasoning processes in computers based on more than twenty years of research.

Machine learning, industrial automation, software techniques, automatic programming, psychological stimulation, predicate-calculus theorem are just some of the subjects that have been made easier to understand because of clear illustrations and diagrams.

4. Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction

Today, reinforcement learning is perhaps one of the hottest topics in the field of artificial intelligence. This comprehensive book makes it to the artificial intelligence books to-read-list because it provides key algorithms and insights related to reinforcement learning.

The book has cleverly been divided into three sections – first dedicated to an understanding of the Markov decision process, second dedicated to basic solutions like Monte Carlo methods, dynamic programming, etc. and third dedicated to providing a unified view of solution methodology. It covers all topics from eligibility traces to artificial neural networks.

All in all, this book does a fantastic job when it comes to covering the latest applications and developments of reinforcement learning as well as its conceptual foundations.

This book is a must-read for all engineers who want to stay on top of their game by studying the latest trends in the field of artificial intelligence and want to gain a clear understanding of reinforcement learning.
