Why to Read Books on Artificial Intelligence?

Any new technological invention or discovery is faced by criticism from people. This is because people hesitate in adapting to a new thing. They find it difficult to get rid of long formed concepts about the old and out of date phenomena. It is the same with Artificial Intelligence. People think that it is dangerous to hand over a human’s task to machine, or they will face unemployment if computers took over all the jobs. However, before concluding that this is not beneficial, one can always do some research or read book to know what AI is all about and how it works.

So here are some reasons to read artificial intelligence books.

1. To understand the evolution of any new technological device, one must know what caused the invention of this thing, and how has it developed to its current stage. Thus, an insight in history and development of artificial intelligence can be achieved by reading a good book on this topic.
2. Artificial intelligence is not a simple phenomenon. Before criticizing, one must know what the mechanism is and how things are working. A good book tells one how the data reception and processing occurs and output is generated through computers.
3. When one wants to devise something new out of current information, he/ she should research about it’s all the facts and figures. We often hear about people, who, by using the basic principles of artificial intelligence, have designed simple, but unique machines to suit various purposes of life. The research is based on the current knowledge, and the books one has read.
4. With a constantly advancing technology of artificial intelligence, it has now been introduced as a field of study in colleges and universities. So if one wants to study this field and adopt a professional career, books would help in the guidance of selection of specific field and current scope.
5. Despite being a current professional or an expert in the field, one can always encounter problems or situations that appear to have no solution. In this case, books especially based on basic principles and considerations can be of a big help.
6. With a constant evolution and upgrade of artificial intelligence, writers are now producing science fiction in this category. Thus the students of literature who are studying modern fiction can make use of these novels and short stories, which provide them with basics of AI as well as their requirements for analysis of writer’s capabilities and approach on the topic.
7. People belonging to other fields of life i.e. medicine, surgery, banking, accounts, teaching, etc. Can consult these books in order to recognize how these machines can be used in their fields.
8. Since it is a relatively newer field of study, continuously developing and improving formulas and working principles result in quick out dating of the previous ones. Hence reading the latest artificial intelligence books, which cover all the newer phenomena is desirable to upgrade the current knowledge, especially for professionals.
