<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>.<Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig>[Author byline and chapters 2–22 in the fourth-edition contents]{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.<Stuart Russell's Berkeley research profile>[Research areas; Uncertainty in Objectives and Human Compatible links]{ref}
