I am very happy to participate in Book Week Scotland, the event organised by the Scottish Book Trust that involves readers and public libraries. I have been asked to prepare a short video about Artificial Intelligence that I entitled “AI: past, present and future”, where I have tried to explain what Artificial Intelligence is through a brief history of the domain.

The details of the initiative are available at the following link:

With my great pleasure, I have built the content of the video upon a few books that I have read in the last years and that have helped me to shape my very own ideas about AI and its development. I am looking forward to receive questions and comments from the audience, hoping that the video will one of help for the organisers of this important event.
