From the Back Cover
Artificial intelligence evokes startling visions of a robot-driven future, providing inspiration for writers, directors and artists from Frank L. Baum to Arthur C. Clarke. But what is Artificial Intelligence, and what can it really do?
This incisive new introduction to today’s hottest topic debunks the myths surrounding AI to reveal the true potential – and very real limitations – of this futuristic science. Author Blay Whitby steers a steady course through the technical minefield, carefully explaining
• What is ‘intelligence’? Neurology, the brain and computers
• From date-mining to fraud detection: AI and business
• How should we use AI? Philosophy and ethics
Tomorrow begins right here as, embarking on an enthralling journey into not only the computer world, but also the inner recesses of the human mind, readers encounter everything from insect-like robots to champion chess computers, in addition to discovering the controversies that dog the field of AI.
