Artificial Intelligence is no longer the stuff of science fiction.

Half a century of research has resulted in machines capable of beating the best human chess players, and humanoid robots which are able to walk and interact with us. But how similar is this 'intelligence' to our own? Can machines really think? Is the mind just a complicated computer program? 

Addressing major issues in the design of intelligent machines, such as consciousness and environment, and covering everything from the influential groundwork of Alan Turing to the cutting-edge robots of today, Introducing Artificial Intelligence is a uniquely accessible illustrated introduction to this fascinating area of science. 

Henry Brighton is a research assistant at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin. He has a PHD in Cognitive Science from the University of Edinburgh, where he also received a BSc. in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science.

Howard Selina studied painting at St. Martin's School of Art and the Royal Academy in London, where he now lives and works. He has also illustrated Introducing titles on Evolution and Consciousness.
