Artificial Intelligence Textbook with Reinforcement Learning

This a book on Artificial Intelligence. It is both a text book and a reference book. It

is designed for online learning. It is one of many books on the subject of artificial

intelligence. There are more than 400 of them. It is the only one on strategy that is

intended to reflect on how to go about doing AI for productive purposes. It also covers

about what AI is already, but it is more than that. It answers the question “Can a machine

think?” and most people are quite tired of that question. In fact, people are now more

interested in how to do what we want to do.

In fact, AI is a inportant subject in our lives and here are two outstanding books that

atune to that assertion: The Singularity is Nearer (2024) by Ray Kurzweil, and Artificial

Intelligence: A Modern Approach (1995) by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig. The

writers are exceedingly intelligent, and the books are useful but not that easy to read.

University research is equally noteworthy. But what about the strategy of adopting AI for

the modern operational environment? How do you know what to do and how to do it.

Do you have to be a scientist or a mathematician to do the job? Absolutely not. Do

you need to be a manager, a major CEO, or even the President of a country. Probably

yes. But you need to have the information to do the job. This book gives you what you

should do to implement AI in the organization and precisely what you need to know

in order to do it.

When doing the job of implementing, should you be knowledgeable about precisly

what has to be done? Of course. Do you personally have to do it? Not at all. Do you

need information on related subjects, of course again. Do you have to read this book

serially? Of course not; it is too detailed.

Will this be happy reading? On some topics, yes. I other sections, not so much. There

are a lot of pages because the environment of AI is large and complicated. Many of the

subjects covered in this book will be extremely useful in other areas of business and

the organizaton.

One more thing. One of the leading topics in Artificial Intelligence research is

Reinforcement Learning that serves as the basis for ChatGPT, similar systems, and a

wide range of AI topics. Every reader and every student should be advised of its existent

and be comfortable with its subject matter.
