How does the brain recognise images? Could computers drive? How is it possible for man-made programmes to beat the world's best chess players? In this fascinating look into the human mind, Ray Kurzweil relates the advanced brain processes we take for granted in our everyday lives, our sense of self and intellect — and explains how artificial intelligence, once only the province of science fiction, is rapidly catching up. Effortlessly unravelling the complexity of his subject, unfolding such key areas as love, learning and logic, he shows how the building blocks for our future machines exist underneath. Kurzweil examines the radical possibilities of a world in which humans and intelligent machines could live side by side.

    💡Learnt A Lot
    🎯Worthwhile

    Последняя на сегодня и самая насыщенная книга Курцвейла. Общие сведения из нейробиологии особенно интересны вместе с последующим описанием навеянной ими частички логики Nuance'овского распознавания речи. К тому же, глава с его знаменитыми спекуляциями вокруг закона Мура - Law of Accelerating Returns - лучше всего именно как глава (The Singularity is Near, целая книга спекуляций Курцвейла, так и осталась мною не осилена).

    Greater neocortical capacity enabled this new species to create and contemplate thoughts at higher conceptual levels, resulting in the establishment of all the varied fields of art and science.
