I can recommend AI Programming Gems. I don''t have the second one (yet), but the first one was great for me. Especially because of the RTS articles in there, most of which were from programmers at Stainless Steel Studios (Empire Earth).

I just got my author''s copies of AI Programming Gems 2 right before Christmas (and yes I did one chapter), but I think it''s even better than the first, for what that''s worth.

Charles River Media also has a book out called AI Application Programming. It''s organized like the Game Programming Gems and AI Game Programming Wisdom series'', a collection of smallish articles on AI topics. Since it''s not specifically focused on games it branches out and covers some stuff that''s not in the books in their game library. I''ve only read a few of their articles so far, but they''ve been very good. Looks like another indispensible book from CRM.

What''s your level of education? Artificial Intelligence: Modern Approach by Russell and Norvig is a traditional introduction to AI in universities. It''s not focused on game AI but it contains most of the information you need to implement a great game AI (the missing parts should be deduceable).

Do you have a specific interest? Machine learning? Expert systems? Fuzzy logic? What?

What about your suggestion?
Would you like to tell me?
Thanks.
Well, for starters, I had the honor of reviewing the aforementioned book - which are included both on Amazon and inside the front cover. (I was a highly paid schill starting viscious rumors!)

I also have "AI Programming Wisdom" which has given me some great stuff to use in my game.
