Recent advances in understanding the brain and in programming intelligent computers, described in this book, show that we are not far from achieving general, conscious, and creative Artificial Intelligence.
But such an AI will not think like a human. It will be far more intelligent, it will think much faster than us, and this opens the door to all kinds of hopes as well as all kinds of fears.
Recent advances in understanding the brain and in programming intelligent computers, described in this book, show that we are not far from achieving general, conscious, and creative Artificial Intelligence.
But such an AI will not think like a human. It will be far more intelligent, it will think much faster than us, and this opens the door to all kinds of hopes as well as all kinds of fears.
What happens in our brain? How does our mind work? And our consciousness? Will we one day be able to create true artificial intelligence? How will we design it, what will its capabilities be, and should we be afraid of it? This book answers all these questions in detail.
Precise but not without humor, abundantly illustrated, this book clearly poses the question of what will happen before, during and after this unique event, which will be of comparable importance to the invention of language, fire, or writing: The arrival of AI in the world of humans.
