There's so much talk about the threat posed by intelligent machines
that it sometimes seems as though we should surrender to our robot
overlords. But Junaid Mubeen isn't ready to throw in the towel just
yet. As far as he is concerned, we have the creative edge over
machines, because of a remarkable system of thought that humans
have developed over the millennia. It's familiar to us all, but
often badly taught in schools and misrepresented in popular
discourse - maths. Computers are, of course, brilliant at totting
up sums, pattern-seeking and performing mindless tasks of, well,
computation. For all things calculation, machines reign supreme.
But Junaid identifies seven areas of intelligence where humans can
retain a crucial edge. And in exploring these areas, he opens up a
fascinating world where we can develop our uniquely human
mathematical superpowers.
