The increasing prevalence of and seeming familiarity with everyday applications that employ AI may, however, easily betray its complexity.AI is a complex, multifaceted concept and is therefore hard to define because AI can refer to technological artifacts, certain methods or a scientific field that is split into many subfields and that is continuously changing and evolving AI systems can therefore be seen as digital artifacts that require hardware and software components and that contain at least one learning or learned component, i.e., a component that is able to change the system's behavior based on presented data and the processing of this data. Taking a pragmatic approach to the subject, this book de-mystifies and makes AI concrete and transparent. Examples and Algorithms are given throughout and can be sensibly implemented in a range of different languages. This comprehensive book provides a concise and accessible introduction to the topic for students with no prior knowledge of AI." -- Back cover ER -
