Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

After 60 years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has now reached industry and the consciousness of the population. The impressive successes and new AI methods are now so relevant that they should be taught even in a basic course. In about 30 new pages, I report mainly on deep learning, a consistent further development of neural networks, which finally enables image processing systems to recognize almost any object in pixel images. Among other benefits, this lead to the first computer program that could beat one of the world’s best Go players.
