Recenzje

It is both exciting and alarming that areas once considered the exclusive zone of human rationality are rapidly being conquered by new forms of artificial intelligence. The astonishing success of deep neural networks, in everything from strategic gaming to natural language, raises questions about whether these new machines are rational, and whether we are at some level similar machines ourselves. For anyone searching for answers to such questions, Cameron Buckner is your best possible guide: he delivers a clear explanation of the crucial technical features of contemporary AI, together with a profound philosophical analysis of the relationship between innate structure and experience. This book marks a new stage in the human understanding of rationality.
