Peter Norvig is a computer scientist whose work combines artificial intelligence, computer programming and technical education. With Stuart J. Russell, he wrote Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, which connects search algorithms, logical reasoning, probabilistic reasoning and machine learning through the design of intelligent agents.^[ref]

His programming explanations also connect compact working examples with general ideas: his spelling-correction tutorial illustrates how candidate generation and a probability model can cooperate in selecting a correction.^[ref]

Stuart J. Russell is a computer scientist whose work concerns artificial intelligence and the design of systems that choose actions from available information. With Peter Norvig, he wrote Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig. Its agent perspective connects search algorithms, first-order logic, probabilistic reasoning, decision theory and machine learning.^[ref]

His research and lectures also examine uncertainty about an intelligent system's objectives. That question differs from uncertainty about its observations: even a system that predicts its environment accurately can need information about what outcome its user wants.^[ref]
