Soft cover. Condition: New. Artificial intelligence is, as the name suggests, artificial and fundamentally different to human intelligence. Yet often the goal of AI is to fake human intelligence. This deceit has been there from the very beginning. We ve been trying to fake it since Alan Turing answered the question Can machines think? by proposing that machines pretend to be humans. Now we are starting to build AI that truly deceives us. Powerful AIs such as ChatGPT can convince us they are intelligent and blur the distinction between what is real and what is simulated. In reality, they lack true understanding, sentience and common sense. But this doesn t mean they can t change the world. Can AI systems ever be creative? Can they be moral? What can we do to ensure they are not harmful? In this fun and fascinating book, Professor Toby Walsh explores all the ways AI fakes it, and what this means for humanity now and in the future.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In an increasingly AI-driven world, renowned expert Toby Walsh examines what the 'artificial' in artificial intelligence truly means. If you want to understand artificial intelligence, you will have to put aside your preconceptions. You will need to forget all those fanciful ideas Hollywood might have given you - especially the bits about humanoid robots. You aren't, unfortunately, going to have a robot butler anytime soon. And robots aren't likely to destroy humanity anytime soon either. We're pretty good at doing that to ourselves! You know what intelligence is from being intelligent yourself. But artificial intelligence isn't going to be like your human intelligence. For one, AI isn't going to have all your weaknesses. It isn't going to think as slow as you do. Nor is it going to be as forgetful. And it might not be hindered by your emotions, like anxiety and fear. Artificial intelligence is about being artificial - about pretending to be intelligent. It is about faking it. This book is about that artificiality. It is partly a strength: by abstracting intelligence, we can hand over many tasks to machines. But it is also a great weakness - and something that should be of concern to everyone.…
