Beschreibung
Although it may seem that the topic of artificial intelligence is purely contemporary, Clifford A. Pickover shows us in another of his richly illustrated books that reflections on thinking machines reach deep into human history. We can encounter artificial intelligence in various contexts: in medicine, popular culture, mythology, or philosophy. Where did moving automatons mimicking humans and animals appear? Where does the fascination with androids and robots come from? When did software first defeat a professional Go player? What are the limits of large language models? The book contains more than a hundred short but concise entries, each accompanied by a full-page illustration. In this way, Pickover provides readers with an easily digestible yet informed view of the history, development, and future direction of artificial intelligence.
