In our image : the challenge of creating intelligent machines -- Machines that learn : the mechanics of artificial minds -- Anything you can do : how AI i outsmarting humans -- Matters of life and death : driverless cars, AI doctors and killer robots -- Into the unknown : how computers may overcome the limitations of the human mind -- Machnes that create : the AI world of art and storytelling -- The real risks of AI : why fears of an apocalypse are overblown -- Will machines inherit the Earth? : how superintelligent machines might revolutionize our world.
Summary: Sometime in the future the intelligence of machines will exceed that of human brain power. So are we on the edge of an AI-pocalypse, with super-intelligent devices superseding humanity, as predicted by Stephen Hawking? Or will this herald a kind of Utopia, with machines doing a far better job at complex tasks than us? You might not realise it, but you interact with AIs every day. They route your phone calls, approve your credit card transactions and help your doctor interpret results. Driverless cars will soon be on the roads with a decision-making computer in charge. But how do machines actually think and learn? In Machines That Think, AI experts and New Scientist explore how artificial ingence helps us understand human intelligence, machines that compose music and write stories - and ask if AI is really a threat.--
