I would always start with Russell and Norvig artificial intelligence a modern approach that's the AI Bible It's an amazing book It's very broad It covers you know all approaches to AI and even if you focus on one approach I think that is the minimum you should know about the other approaches out there So that should be your.

Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig is widely recognized as the definitive academic textbook on artificial intelligence, providing a comprehensive overview of the field's foundational concepts and methodologies. Anca Dragan shared on the Lex Fridman Podcast that obtaining a pirated PDF copy of the textbook in high school sparked her initial passion for robotics and algorithms, a sentiment echoed by host Lex Fridman regarding its impact on a whole generation of researchers. Marcus Hutter similarly praised the book on the podcast, describing it as the essential bible for anyone entering the field due to its remarkable breadth in covering diverse approaches to AI. On EconTalk, Russ Roberts referenced the 2011 edition of the textbook from his shelf, using its page count allocation on neural networks to illustrate how marginalized deep learning techniques were at the time. Chris Williamson mentioned Stuart Russell on The Joe Rogan Experience while discussing the author's legacy and the global reach of his foundational textbook, which has been translated into dozens of languages. Brian Christian also highlighted the book on Modern Wisdom, confirming its status as the standard curriculum utilized across universities and institutions worldwide. Together, these podcast discussions underscore the textbook's monumental role in educating and shaping generations of computer scientists and AI practitioners.
