2016년에 나온 제3판 번역서(2009년에 출간된 원서 3판을 번역)는 최신 연구 반영에 한계가 있었으나, 이번 제4판 번역서는 최근 성과(자연어 이해, 로봇공학, 컴퓨터 시각에 심층학습이 끼친 영향, 강화학습을 로봇공학에 적용하는 방법, 기계학습, 인공지능 윤리 등)를 충실하게 반영하였다.

구글의 연구실장이며, 2002년에서 2005년까지 핵심 웹 검색 엔진 개발을 이끌었다. 전에는 NASA Ames Research Center의 계산 과학 분과장으로서 NASA의 인공지능 및 로봇공학 연구와 개발을 감독했다. 서던 캘리포니아 대학교의 교수였으며, 버클리 대학교와 스탠퍼드 대학교의 연구교수단 일원이었다. 그의 다른 책으로는 《Paradigms of AI Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp》와 《Verbmobil: A Translation System for Face?to?Face Dialog》, 그리고 《Intelligent Help Systems for UNIX》가 있다.
