If you are serious about learning more about the science of AI, then the next book you should read is Russell and Norvig's Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach. This is the standard undergraduate text on AI - it has encyclopaedic coverage of the field, and is unlikely to be surpassed any time soon. The book has associated with it a very extensive code repository, so if you want to start AI programming, this is the place to go.

For a detailed history of the field, see Nil Nilsson's The Quest for AI.

Most research in AI is published in one of a handful of academic conferences and learned journals:

• The International Joint Conference on AI (IJCAI) has been organised regularly since 1967.
• The Association for Advancement of AI (AAAI) has organised an annual conference since 1980.
• Artificial Intelligence Journal (AIJ for short) has been published since 1970, and many of the key papers in the field have appeared there.
• The two main conference for machine learning are NeurIPS - the Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) and the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML).
