Sinopse:
Artificial intelligence becomes easier to understand when it is organized around agents: systems that perceive environments, represent knowledge, choose actions, and learn from experience. David L. Poole and Alan K. Mackworth build that organizing idea through a broad progression from agent architectures and search to constraint satisfaction, logical inference, reasoning under uncertainty, and decision making, giving readers a coherent map rather than a disconnected collection of algorithms. The third edition connects classical foundations with modern machine learning. Its chapters examine supervised and unsupervised learning, neural networks, deep learning, causal reasoning, planning, reinforcement learning, multiagent systems, natural language, vision, robotics, and the social consequences of automated decisions. Formal definitions, pseudocode, examples, exercises, and links to executable Python material continually bridge mathematical models and working computational systems. This is a substantial reference for students, instructors, and practitioners who want to see how the major branches of AI fit together. The emphasis on design choices exposes the assumptions behind each technique, while recurring discussions of ethics and social impact keep technical capability connected to responsibility. Readers leave with both a foundation for implementing intelligent agents and a framework for evaluating what those agents should do.
