It offers two specific reasons for this claim: Human intelligence is a capability of a complex dynamic system--the human brain and central nervous system. Systems of this sort cannot be modelled mathematically in a way that allows them to operate inside a computer. In supporting their claim, the authors, Jobst Landgrebe and Barry Smith, marshal evidence from mathematics, physics, computer science, philosophy, linguistics, and biology, setting up their book around three central questions: What are the essential marks of human intelligence? What is it that researchers try to do when they attempt to achieve "artificial intelligence" (AI)? And why, after more than 50 years, are our most common interactions with AI, for example with our bank's computers, still so unsatisfactory? Landgrebe and Smith show how a widespread fear about AI's potential to bring about radical changes in the nature of human beings and in the human social order is founded on an error. There is still, as they demonstrate in a final chapter, a great deal that AI can achieve which will benefit humanity. But these benefits will be achieved without the aid of systems that are more powerful than humans, which are as impossible as AI systems that are intrinsically "evil" or able to "will" a takeover of human society. 650 0 $a Artificial intelligence $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Artificial intelligence. 650 0 $a Human-computer interaction. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781000628692 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706014603.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=439DF378D37711ED83DD52344BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
