It is easy to read and not so difficult to comprehend. However some parts of it I had to read two and three times and I am still not sure that I understood everything. But that depends on my shortcoming and has nothing to do with the style of Kevin Warwick. In my opinion this is a first class intro to AI and I would recommend it to young people who have to decide what to study at college. It might be that AI is the new shooting star after neuroscience. Still it seems to me that from a gender point of view AI would need some female input. Of all the literature recommended as a further read in Kevin Warwicks book there is no (!) book or article written by a female author. This seems the only shortcoming of this new scence. Is it the computing or the scientific approach that keeps women away from AI? I think like every other science AI would need the female input. Besides this general observationlet me give one more recommendation. An interesting article in Nature: "On creative machines and the physical origins of freedom" by Hans J. Briegel, doi: 10.1038/srep0052. I mention this because it seems to me that this is the direction which scientific research in AI should proceed: ethics and freedom of mind paired with responsibility, because as Kevin Warwick points out, robots have no conscience and that they never will stand up against humans is a myth which goes back to science fiction writer Isac Asimov (p.75). Apart of all this I want to stress that one of the highlights in Warwicks book are the building blocks: they reach from a definition of intelligence over classical AI to the philosophy of AI to biological AI and robotics. The different chapters start with a synopsis and end with recommended literature. All this together makes AI: The Basics worth reading and comprehending. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Introduction *by C***N on December 18, 2012* A very easy to read simplistic introduction to the field of Artificial Intelligence. The book covers a comprehensive variety of styles/approaches to artificial life and computational problem solving including optimization, data mining, agents,evolutionary system and so on. The content does not enter into particularly highly detailed examples (no maths/programming) of these principals, however the descriptions are thorough enough (in plain english) for any introductory readers, or those without prior knowledge to fully grasp the concepts being discussed.I would recommend this book to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of the overall field of Artificially Intelligence, or for someone looking to get an idea of whats out there before diving into more complicated books. ## Frequently Bought Together - Artificial Intelligence: The Basics - Artificial Intelligence for Humans, Volume 1: Fundamental Algorithms - Machine Learning for Beginners: Absolute Beginners Guide, Learn Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence from Scratch (Python, Machine Learning) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/7285942-artificial-intelligence-the-basics](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/7285942-artificial-intelligence-the-basics) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
