The following is a conversation with Peter Norvig.

He's the director of research at Google and the co-author who's true Russell of the book,

Artificial Intelligence and Modern Approach that educated and inspired a whole generation

of researchers including myself to get into the field of Artificial Intelligence.

And now here's my conversation with Peter Norvig.

Most researchers in the AI community, including myself, own all three editions, right,

Green and Blue of the Artificial Intelligence and Modern Approach.

The first edition of the book is a field-defining textbook, many people are aware that you wrote

with Stuart Russell.

How has the book changed and how have you changed in relation to it from the first edition

to the second to the third and now fourth edition as you work on it?

Yeah, so it's been a lot of years, a lot of changes.

One of the things changing from the first to maybe the second or third was just the rise

of computing power, right?

So I think in the first edition we said, here's predicate logic, but that only goes so

far because pretty soon you have millions of short little predicate expressions and they

can possibly fit in memory.

So we're going to use first-order logic that's more concise.
