Artificial Intelligence: What Everyone Needs to Know Today About Our Future

It is one of the favorite books I so loved to read again and again. From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons. Artificial intelligence today is properly known as narrow AI, in that it is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g. only facial recognition or only internet searches or only driving a car). However, the long-term goal of many researchers is to create general AI (AGI or strong AI). While narrow AI may outperform humans at whatever its specific task is, like playing chess or solving equations, AGI would outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task. Very interesting book. I recommend to hear this book in this quarantine time.

he book is OK. It has interesting parts, is easy to read and gives a general overview that will be of interest to many. However, in my view, it is too simplistic, at least for those who already have a basic understanding of AI. As many, many books on AI it hardly scratches the surface, and gives little understanding of the inner workings and real cases applicability. I admit I may be asking too much from this book, but I was expecting more depth. Also, in the last chapters, the author goes off the tangent and starts treating topics that can hardly be considered AI. Kaplan moves easily from weak and strong AI, automation to robotics, humans to autonomous beings. At first....I thought this was utter nonsense, but as I read on, I realized there is an element of genius to this approach---being, that's how AI is now...and will be in the future. AI isn't new, and is already quite pervasive in our society. My only real complaint, is that moving so casually between levels of AI, it seemed cavalier and confusing at times. I guess the reader is to assume that strong AI is possible...or that digital brains in humans is possible. There are bits of sci-fi he used in the storytelling that undermined his personal ideology, which is...we are nowhere close to strong AI (I also believe this). Nonetheless, it was a good read. I would recommend this book to other people.

This book is really speacially l.this book read all pages and help me all sentence.book is very speacially.this book like this ariticle no mistake this aricle.everybody should this book download and get earn for many subject.all point very important read and many thing about this I hope all people download the book and read for everyday.and try the work I hope you are success.
