Just have a look at the AIMA book (http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/), it's full of applications not related to advertising (both of its authors, Russell and Norvig, have signed the letter). I'm going to implement many of them in my blog (http://ai-maker.com/), so if you want to have a lot of fun with AI, join me in this learning quest.

I did most of my first homework assignments out of that book a lot of years ago ;). I'm actually writing my own book on deep learning with oreilly now. Plenty to do ;)

I'd the thrilled to hear your story with AI and OReilly. It must be very encouraging to have this project with such an important editor.
