I saw a copy of "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach" on the shelf yesterday and couldn't help wondering if there would ever be another edition. It has some great, foundational stuff in it -- but the techniques described are about as far from the current state of the art as a Byzantine dromon is from an aircraft carrier. Russell and Norvig would pretty much have to rewrite the book from scratch, and by the time the draft was ready for editing their approach would probably no longer be modern. I'm calling it now: if AI isn't the biggest news of the next ten years, then the reason will probably be because it got upstaged by World War 3 or something similarly dramatic. And it baffles me how little press the subject gets.
