Artificial intelligence, including machine learning, has emerged as a transformational science and
engineering discipline. Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents presents AI using a
coherent framework to study the design of intelligent computational agents. By showing how the basic
approaches fit into a multidimensional design space, readers learn the fundamentals without losing
sight of the bigger picture. The new edition also features expanded coverage on machine learning
material, as well as on the social and ethical consequences of AI and ML. The book balances theory
and experiment, showing how to link them together, and develops the science of AI together with its
engineering applications. Although structured as an undergraduate and graduate textbook, the book's
straightforward, self-contained style will also appeal to an audience of professionals, researchers, and
independent learners. The second edition is well-supported by strong pedagogical features and online
resources to enhance student comprehension.
