Someone know of any good books/sites about AI?

Thanks.

You might try poking around http://ai-depot.com/

I just found this site: http://www.gameai.com/ which seems to fit rather perfectly with the subject of game AI :slight_smile:
They have lots of references to books, and some great sample code.

Both those sites were really great.

Thanks!

THE book to read on AI is “Theory of Games and Economic Behavior”. by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern

It is listed as one of the 12 most important scientific monograms (dissertations) along with the art of computer programming, einstien’s theory of relativity, and the collected papers of einstein.

There is a few caveats to this:

  1. It is not a basic book. Lots of math.
  2. It is not a cheap book ($33.00 new, paperback).
  3. It was written in over 60 years ago.
  4. Theory of Games it doesn’t refer to how to build games. It is how to create economic models using math based “ai games”. It does however deal with AI. And the theories/methods intorduced in the book are applicable to any AI project.

Ok, that was my 'ha penny’s worth.
