Artificial Intelligence

Everything you need to know about the coming AI. A Ladybird Expert Book

Part of the new Ladybird Expert series, Artificial Intelligence is an accessible and authoritative introduction to intelligent machines and the humans that program them.

Written by computer scientist Michael Wooldridge, Artificial Intelligence chronicles the development of intelligent machines, from Turing's dream of machines that think, to today's digital assistants like Siri and Alexa.

AI is not something that awaits us in the future. Inside you'll learn how we have come to rely on embedded AI software and what a world of ubiquitous AI might look like.
The artwork is gloriously retro, echoing the original Ladybird house style but containing completely up to date information.
