# Awesome AI books



This is a list of books about or related to Artificial Intelligence. 



Note: With a few notable exceptions, this is a list of non-fiction books _about_ AI and related topics. If you are looking for technical books or reference materials related to AI development (or data science more generally), I recommend you take a look at the following lists made by other users (both of which I have found to be very useful): [Artificial Intelligence](https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books/blob/main/books/free-programming-books-subjects.md#artificial-intelligence) and [Data Science](https://github.com/data-science-projects-and-resources/Data-Science-EBooks)
