AI, or artificial intelligence, is a method used to program computers to do human-like tasks. The term “artificial intelligence” is used to describe the study and implementation of computer systems that simulate human intellect to do jobs traditionally performed by people. Definitions of artificial intelligence have been around since at least the eighteenth century. Over the last two decades, the exponential development of this topic may be attributed to the efforts of scientists and researchers from many other disciplines, including mathematics, computers, medicine, philosophy, psychology, mechanics, and languages.

This textbook on artificial intelligence is written for students at all levels, from those just starting in the discipline to those who will go on to define the future of computer science and research. This book was written with attention to artificial intelligence courses offered at top Indian and international technological colleges. The book might serve as a resource for studying for the midterm and grasping the subject’s essentials. For anyone working in the field of computers who is interested in expanding their knowledge of AI, this resource will be invaluable.

The book, which was painstakingly compiled with the help of a wide variety of primary sources, has undergone extensive revision to ensure that every topic is covered in depth with examples. Algorithms for a variety of processes and methods are provided to help readers better grasp them and see how they might be used in real-world situations. Every learner should be able to get the most out of this book, which is why the approach has been kept straightforward and user-friendly. Simple writing makes this book a breeze to read.
