The Games that Computers (and Humans) Play is a non-technical introduction to AI using games to illustrate the concepts, written by an internationally known researcher in Artificial Intelligence.

Games and puzzles (one-person games) are a microcosm of the real world. In this book they are used to illustrate the underlying technologies behind popular commercial AI products. The secrets of the computerâs successes are revealed, and they are often counter-intuitive. Many of the methods used sound dumb and no human would ever mimic the computerâs approach, yet it is hard to argue with success. With your new-found understanding of how AI enables computers to achieve super-human performance at games, the book gives the reader intuitive insight into how this transformative technology is going to revolutionize our world.

With easily understandable descriptions, this book is an ideal introduction for the non-scientist and anyone interested in how games have shaped the history and development of Artificial Intelligence.
