Books

Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach – Stuart Russell & Peter Norvig
- Also consider browsing the list of recommended reading, divided by each chapter in “Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach”.
Paradigms Of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp – Paradigms of AI Programming is the first text to teach advanced Common Lisp techniques in the context of building major AI systems
Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction – This introductory textbook on reinforcement learning is targeted toward engineers and scientists in artificial intelligence, operations research, neural networks, and control systems, and we hope it will also be of interest to psychologists and neuroscientists.
The Cambridge Handbook Of Artificial Intelligence – Written for non-specialists, it covers the discipline’s foundations, major theories, and principal research areas, plus related topics such as artificial life
The Emotion Machine: Commonsense Thinking, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of the Human Mind – In this mind-expanding book, scientific pioneer Marvin Minsky continues his groundbreaking research, offering a fascinating new model for how our minds work
Artificial Intelligence: A New Synthesis – Beginning with elementary reactive agents, Nilsson gradually increases their cognitive horsepower to illustrate the most important and lasting ideas in AI
On Intelligence – Hawkins develops a powerful theory of how the human brain works, explaining why computers are not intelligent and how, based on this new theory, we can finally build intelligent machines. Also audio version available from audible.com
How To Create A Mind – Kurzweil discusses how the brain works, how the mind emerges, brain-computer interfaces, and the implications of vastly increasing the powers of our intelligence to address the world’s problems

Programming

Prolog Programming For Artificial Intelligence – This best-selling guide to Prolog and Artificial Intelligence concentrates on the art of using the basic mechanisms of Prolog to solve interesting AI problems.
AI Algorithms, Data Structures and Idioms in Prolog, Lisp and Java – PDF here
Python Tools for Machine Learning
Python for Artificial Intelligence

Philosophy

Super Intelligence – Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence. A really great book.
Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence And The End Of The Human Era – Our Final Invention explores the perils of the heedless pursuit of advanced AI. Until now, human intelligence has had no rival. Can we coexist with beings whose intelligence dwarfs our own? And will they allow us to?
How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed – Ray Kurzweil, director of engineering at Google, explored the process of reverse-engineering the brain to understand precisely how it works, then applies that knowledge to create vastly intelligent machines.
Minds, Brains, And Programs – The 1980 paper by philospher John Searle that contains the famous ‘Chinese Room’ thought experiment. Probably the most famous attack on the notion of a Strong AI possessing a ‘mind’ or a ‘consciousness’, and interesting reading for those interested in the intersection of AI and philosophy of mind.
Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid – Written by Douglas Hofstadter and taglined “a metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll”, this wonderful journey into the the fundamental concepts of mathematics,symmetry and intelligence won a Pulitzer Price for Non-Fiction in 1979. A major theme throughout is the emergence of meaning from seemingly ‘meaningless’ elements, like 1’s and 0’s, arranged in special patterns.
