Description
Ever since Alan Turing, AI enthusiasts have equated artificial intelligence with human intelligence. This is a profound mistake. AI works on inductive reasoning, crunching data sets to predict outcomes. But humans don't correlate data sets. We make conjectures, informed by context and experience. And we haven't a clue how to program that kind of intuitive reasoning, which lies at the heart of common sense. Futurists insist AI will sooon eclipse the capacities of the most gifted mind, but Larson shows how far we are from superintelligence - and what it would take to get there. --,Adapted from back cover.
