Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents David L. Poole and Alan K. Mackworth is an English-language textbook that focuses on artificial intelligence. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in higher education and covers fundamental concepts and applications of AI.
This third edition has been completely revised and expanded with new chapters on deep learning, generative AI, causality, and the social impact of artificial intelligence. It provides a coherent framework for learning, reasoning, and decision-making using agent designs.
With new social impact sections per chapter, pseudocode, and open-source AIPython code, students can apply the theory directly. The book also includes five in-depth case studies that connect theoretical knowledge to practical examples.
This textbook is a valuable resource for both undergraduate and graduate programs and includes up-to-date methods and insights in AI, with a concrete focus on the social impact of technology.
Topics align with artificial intelligence, causality, ethical aspects, and computing, and effectively support higher education in this field.
