Artificial Intelligence
What is it, exactly ?
This book is for all those who are curious to learn what artificial intelligence (AI) is.
It aims at covering artificial intelligence in all its aspects and all its diversity, without bias. It is a purposely brief introduction to the subject, that has been kept as elementary as possible for a broader audience.
It has been written by researchers in the field, on the initiative of the GDR IA, a research group of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), dedicated to the formal and algorithmic aspects of AI.
