Artificial Intelligence is already here, according to Artificial Intelligence Around Us (ISBN 978-1-58909-666-4), an intriguing and insightful new book just released by Bookstand Publishing.    "Artificial intelligence is already upon us," says author and researcher Dr. Yuri Iserlis. "It not just something coming in the distant future. Every day, we enjoy the fruits of the work being done in this field, yet we are hardly aware of it. In fact, AI systems are everywhere around us, and many of these we encounter on a routine basis in our daily lives.   This book is intended to give the reader a better understanding what is currently going on around us, and why."   Artificial Intelligence Around Us will be of interest to scientists and engineers as well as the lay reader and reviews not only the roots and principles of AI theory, but also presents various modern AI applications.   The book covers what kinds of Artificial Intelligent Systems exist now, how and where to use computer-generated imagery, why some Internet shoppers can find themselves in the position of Buridan’s donkey, and why the Internet, as a “global brain”, has transformed this huge planet Earth into a very small world. It also includes definitions for many industry terms and phrases, including “intelligent house”, “intelligent SCADA and control system”, “robot and intelligent agent”, “expert or TRIZ system”, “implanted people and pets”, “indigo children”, “artificial sensory organs”, “perception and communication systems”, “virtual and augmented realities”, “wiki”, and “six degrees of separation”, to name just a few.   Artificial Intelligence Around Us is based on the System Approach, which enables classification of existing Artificial Intelligence Systems from different points of view.     The author of the book, Yuri Iserlis, is an expert in artificial intelligence. He graduated from St-Petersburg Polytechnic State University (Russia) as mechanical engineer in 1961, and completed his postgraduate studies at St-Petersburg Marine Technical University in 1972. He has worked as designer, researcher, analyst and scientist in various industries, education and medicine. Dr. Iserlis founded and operated the company, Intellectual System, Inc., in St-Petersburg, Russia, from 1992 to 1996, where he developed some real-time industrial intellectual systems. In 1996, Dr. Iserlis immigrated in the USA, and in 2002 founded his latest company, Clever Ace, in San Jose, California. He has written and published more than seventy articles and books, which have been translated into many languages.

For example, a craftsman operating a working lathe, a driver and his running car, and the workers and machines at a power station all form man-machine systems. In a man-machine system, the human operator supplies the goal, the direction, and the integration. The machine executes everything according to the given directions, and provides feedback. In the process of man-machine systems evolution, the role of man has decreased relative to the role of the machines he operates. To execute routine functions, machines have been increasingly equipped with control subsystems, and the resulting man-machines systems were referred to as “semi-automatic” systems. Progressively, many semi-automatic systems have transformed into automatic systems. Thanks to computer systems, a fantastic change has taken place in many areas of technology during the last few decades. Previous machines had the role of executing tasks given to them by human beings. Today, these machines are equipped with very advanced programmable control systems and various kinds of sensory devices, enabling them to execute many human tasks, including creative problem solving. Meanwhile, engineers and scientists working on bionic technologies are getting closer to creating machines that can perform some human functions for people with disabilities. As a result, the preconditions for the birth of artificial intelligence appeared.

During a long time I would like to understand and may to start to carry out some research in the field of artificial intelligence. However, the books and articles that I try to read have been to difficult for the beginner. Some times ago, I find book, written by Mr. Y. Iserlis “Artificial Intelligence Around Us”. Clearly written eight chapters of the book draw very wide world of artificial intelligence and its applications. I may strongly recommend to everyone who would like to acquaint himself with artificial intelligence and its problems to read this book.

Artificial Intelligence Exists! Step by step, with examples and in very clear manner Yuri Iserlis proves the subject. We have to understand that all particles of it are already exist. The Book is well indexed and written in natural manner. This Book can be used for school or university students and because of the amount of information and wide coverage can also be useful for professionals from different fields that involve any kind of automation. In modern times many of development projects are just integration to existing technologies. This Book is good for learning about present technologies, future developments and contacts between them.

I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anybody from high school students to IT professionals. It manages to put in writing the ideas that are around us, the ideas we do not bother to think about.
