5 Essential AI Books

Here are 5 books I've read recently that I thought were excellent and definitely worth any AI person's time… One of the books isn't even on AI, but I think the topic should be required for many practitioners and thought leaders. I first read this book a few years ago when it was published, and I find myself coming back to it as a reference every few months when I need to make sure I'm understanding a concept or need to double check mine or someone else's work. It's an excellent summary to theory and concepts for someone who wants a little deeper understanding. I think a great route to learning and getting a moderately deep theoretical and practical understanding is to go piece by piece through this text and the next text "Deep Learning with Python" simultaneously. Try to push through a chapter of theory and understand at least the basics of the chapter in "Deep Learning" and then go build these ideas using a corresponding chapter from "Deep Learning with Python."
