Opis

For 70 years we have been arguing about whether computers will ever equal us in intelligence. Some gurus fear the Singularity , when computers will be so intelligent that they will enslave us if we are lucky. But a greater danger is that we will enslave ourselves to stupid computers: the Surrender .

Recenzje

In an age when heady promises and dark warnings from advocates of a fast–approaching Technological Singularity regularly make front–page news, this book offers timely words of caution.
J. Mark Bishop, Director of the Tungsten Centre for Intelligent Data Analytics, Goldsmiths, University of London

By highlighting artificial intelligence s fundamental failures, Professor Collins provides an overdue correction to "the market–driven urge to advertise its successes . Authoritative and technically accurate, this book will be essential for students of AI, policy makers, business innovators and the broader public for many years.
Alan Blackwell, Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge
