This new edition expands and revises the book throughout, with new material added to existing chapters, including short case studies, as well as adding new chapters on explainable AI, and big data. It expands the book’s focus on human-centred AI, covering bias (gender, ethnic), the need for transparency, augmentation vs replacement, IUI, and designing interactions to aid ML
With detailed, well-illustrated examples and exercises throughout, this book provides a substantial and robust introduction to artificial intelligence in a clear and concise coursebook form. It stands as a core text for all students and computer scientists approaching AI.
Alan Dix is Director of the Computational Foundry at Swansea University, a 30 million pound initiative to boost computational research in Wales with a strong focus on creating social and economic benefit. Previously Alan has worked in a mix of academic, commercial and government roles. Alan is principally known for his work in human-computer interaction, and is the author of one of the major international textbooks on HCI as well as of over 450 research publications from formal methods to intelligent interfaces and design creativity. Technically, he works equally happily with AI and machine learning alongside traditional mathematical and statistical techniques. He has a broad understanding of mathematical, computational and human issues, and he authored some of the earliest papers on gender and ethnic bias in black box-algorithms.
