Artificial Intelligence A Guide For Thinking Humans

Dies ist ein sehr verständliches und ausgewogenes Buch über künstliche Intelligenz. Melanie Mitchell erklärt in einfachen Worten, was KI ist, wie sie sich historisch entwickelt hat und wo ihre tatsächlichen Grenzen liegen. Besonders gut hat mir gefallen, dass sie weder übertreibt noch Angst schürt, sondern einen ruhigen und realistischen Ton beibehält, der hilft, das Thema besser zu verstehen. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass das Buch bereits 2019 erschienen ist und deshalb die neuesten Entwicklungen bis 2025, wie große Sprachmodelle oder die breite Nutzung von KI im Alltag, nicht abdeckt. Die grundlegenden Ideen bleiben jedoch vollkommen aktuell und geben das theoretische Fundament, um die heutigen Fortschritte nachvollziehen zu können. Insgesamt halte ich es für eine hervorragende Einführung für alle, die künstliche Intelligenz ohne Übertreibungen verstehen möchten, und ich kann es uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

a very good book. AI from many different angles. the things it can do and those it can't, yet and maybe never. the controversies and the successes. a little dated but thought provoking and much basic information. clear and concise.i only hope she will update it.

A autora elabora uma concisa e preciosa evolução histórica da Inteligência Artificial, desde seu início nos anos 1950. Aborda diversos tópicos, sobre imagens e linguagem natural, as técnicas usadas, de forma didática tornando de fácil compreensão de como funcionam as IAs. No final do livro ela coloca suas opiniões, que ao longo do livro foram bem humoradas, com muitos exemplos, faz citação de todas as referências. Um guia rápido e completo para quem deseja saber mais sobre IA e as diversas técnicas como o deep reinforcement learning. Mitchell foi orientada no seu doutorado, simplesmente, do grande cientista Douglas Hofstadter, comentando diversos diálogos entre eles. Excelente livro para quem deseja entender e conhecer a história da IA.

if you're not a technical person some theories described might be hard to understand but it's super interesting

I particularly appreciated the real-world examples and practical insights that make abstract concepts come alive. This book is a must-read for anyone curious about the evolving role of AI in our lives. Highly recommended!
