Michael Kanaan book on Artificial intelligence
Michael Kanaan book on Artificial intelligence is a broad one which intends to explain the history of computers and later AI and machine learning applications and their use. The book has technically addressed several issues from the emergence of natural language processing programs which were designed due to the need for an interpreter whenever two people with different languages needed to communicate to the emergence of machine learning programs which were developed as a result of the urge for other gaming by different people.
The book has also met its purpose in explaining how artificial intelligence came in to being and how it is currently being used. His well-crafted comparisons between the human brain and computers help the readers to clearly understand why there is a need for supercomputers and AI devices that have the ability to obtain a lot of information, analyze it and be able to act upon this information to achieve different results. The book further explains the different types of machine learning programs categorizing them as supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement application. The author has used various examples to illustrate the bias in humans and machines, making it easy for the reader to relate and conceptualize. Generally, the concepts in the book are easy to understand since most of them are self-explanatory.
