Preface

Over the years, my view of an artificial intelligence (AI) course has changed significantly. I used to view it as a course that should discuss our efforts to develop an artificial entity that can learn and make decisions in a complex, changing environment, affect that environment, and communicate its knowledge and choices to humans; that is, an entity that can think. I would therefore cover the weak AI methods that failed to scale up. However, as strong methods that solved challenging problems in limited domains became more predominant, my course increasingly concerned these methods. I would cover backward chaining, forward chaining, planning, inference in Bayesian networks, normative decision analysis, evolutionary computation, decision ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
