The second edition of the Artificial Intelligence book is a comprehensive guide designed for undergraduate and graduate students, covering AI-related topics such as search and planning, knowledge representation, game playing, expert systems, uncertainty handling, etc. Advanced topics such as machine learning, fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computing, and natural language processing are also included. The book contains 16 chapters organized into six units, complete with pedagogical features and numerous examples to ensure comprehension of the discussed concepts. The book is suitable for AI courses offered in technical institutions and universities and can also serve as study material for computer professionals wishing to expand their understanding of AI. The book's use of PROLOG (programming in logic) as the declarative language throughout provides an excellent opportunity for users to code programs using AI techniques with a clear understanding of the underlying and natural thought processes of human ways of problem-solving. The book's content contains approximately 40% more material than is required for UG programs in Indian universities, making it useful for advanced AI courses. Overall, the second edition of the Artificial Intelligence book offers a comprehensive guide to AI, making it an excellent textbook for one full-semester course.
