This book is a comprehensive overview, understandable even to those not in the field, of this recent chapter opened by computer science. The many internet links scattered throughout the various chapters are a useful and selective way to allow the reader to quickly delve deeper into topics on artificial intelligence. The book details the three fundamental conferences that gave rise to modern artificial intelligence: the first in Dartmouth in 1956, the second in Ascona (CH) in 2006, and the third in Asilomar (US) in 2017. A chapter explains the meanings of terms such as Big Data, Machine Learning, Turing Test, Python, and many others, limiting the description to the necessary aspects to familiarize oneself with the context. A historical chronology helps to understand how one must trace back to the beginnings of civilization to reach the most recent achievements. The text includes 18 important articles recently published by the author that, on their own, provide a detailed framework of various known and lesser-known aspects of AI. It all ends with 17 biographies of the great scientists who have contributed to this subject, starting from Leibniz and up to today with Tim Barners-Lee.
