                     BEST BOOKS ON ARTIFICIAL 
INTELLIGENCE
Artificial Intelligence can be defined as the ability of machines to 
imitate human behavior and has come a long way – from nightmares 
and mad dreams to self-driving cars and automated factories. We 
bring you a list of artificial intelligence books that showcase rabid 
speculations, rich history, and intriguing (yet bizarre) theories from 
the world of artificial intelligence.
Here’s a list of seven artificial intelligence books you must read in 
2019:-
1.Our Final Invention(By James Barrat)
Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End 
of the Human Era is a 2013 non-fiction book by the 
Author of the book. The book discusses the potential 
benefits and possible risks of human-level or superhuman 
AI. Those supposed risks include extermination of the 
human race.
Throughout the book, Barrat takes a cautionary tone, 
focusing on the threats artificial super-intelligence poses to 
human existence. Barrat emphasizes how difficult it would 
be to control or even to predict the actions of something 
that may become orders of magnitude more intelligent 
than the most intelligent humans.
Life 3.0(By Max Tegmark)
Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence] is a 
book by Swedish-American cosmologist Max Tegmark from MIT. 
Life 3.0 discusses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on the 
future of life on Earth and beyond. The book discusses a variety 
of societal implications, what can be done to maximize the 
chances of a positive outcome, and potential futures for 
humanity, technology and combinations thereof.
The book begins by positing a scenario in which AI has exceeded 
human intelligence and become pervasive in society. Tegmark 
refers to different stages of human life since its inception: Life 1.0 
referring to biological origins, Life 2.0 referring to cultural 
developments in humanity, and Life 3.0 referring to the 
technological age of humans. 
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (By Stuart J. Russell and Peter Norvig)
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (AIMA) is a 
university textbook on artificial intelligence, written by Stuart J. 
Russell and Peter Norvig. It was first published in 1995 and the 
third edition of the book was released 11 December 2009. It is 
used in over 1350 universities worldwide and has been called 
"the most popular artificial intelligence textbook in the world".It is 
considered the standard text in the field of artificial intelligence.
The book is intended for an undergraduate audience but can 
also be used for graduate-level studies with the suggestion of 
adding some of the primary sources listed in the extensive 
bibliography.
Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies(By Nick Bostrom)
Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies is a 2014 
book by the Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom from the 
University of Oxford. It argues that if machine brains 
surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new 
superintelligence could replace humans as the dominant 
lifeform on Earth. Sufficiently intelligent machines could 
improve their own capabilities faster than human computer 
scientists,and the outcome could be an existential 
catastrophe for humans.]
Bostrom's book has been translated into many languages 
and is available as an audiobook.
Deep Learning with R(By Ray Kurzwiel)
Ray Kurzweil was arguably responsible for 
popularizing the idea of the technological 
singularity. In which, much to the hopes of sun-
deprived dreamers everywhere that the end was 
nigh for a super-intelligence would eventually 
emerge out of a self-improving runaway reaction. 
With it there'd be no telling what comes next in a 
world unknowable, ending history in its wake and 
bringing in a time of unfathomable change. While 
not all of Kurzweil's predictions are as verbose, 
many of Kurzweil's lesser predictions from years 
past have rung true.
Machines of Loving Grace: The Quest for Common Ground Between Humans and 
Robots(By John markoff)
Author and journalist John Markoff offers a 
detailed and rich history of the field of robotics 
and artificial intelligence. He's interested in the 
interplay between human societies and the 
effect that increasing automation and 
intelligence will have in the workplace and other 
areas. Markoff explores the views of the 
designers behind these machines and the 
paradoxical nature of the potentialities of this 
new tech. He states: “The same technologies 
that extend the intellectual power of humans can 
displace them as well".
Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins(By 
Gary Kasparov)
Deep Thinking is a tightly argued case for 
technological progress, from the man who 
stood at its precipice with his own career at 
stake. Garry Kasparov's 1997 chess match 
against the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue 
was a watershed moment in the history of 
technology.
