Sometime in the future the intelligence of machines will exceed
that of human brain power. So are we on the edge of an
AI-pocalypse, with superintelligent devices superseding humanity,
as predicted by Stephen Hawking? Or will this herald a kind of
Utopia, with machines doing a far better job at complex tasks than
us? You might not realise it, but you interact with AIs every day.
They route your phone calls, approve your credit card transactions
and help your doctor interpret results. Driverless cars will soon
be on the roads with a decision-making computer in charge. But how
do machines actually think and learn? In Machines That Think, AI
experts and New Scientist explore how artificial intelligence helps
us understand human intelligence, machines that compose music and
write stories - and ask if AI is really a threat. ABOUT THE SERIES
New Scientist Instant Expert books are definitive and accessible
entry points to the most important subjects in science; subjects
that challenge, attract debate, invite controversy and engage the
most enquiring minds. Designed for curious readers who want to know
how things work and why, the Instant Expert series explores the
topics that really matter and their impact on individuals, society,
and the planet, translating the scientific complexities around us
into language that's open to everyone, and putting new ideas and
discoveries into perspective and context.
