Description
Explore the fascinating world of artificial intelligence with this insightful book, published by John Wiley & Sons (UK) in 2018. Delve into the depths of machine intelligence and discover the impact of groundbreaking advancements like deep learning, which challenge our very understanding of intelligence. Author Harry Collins presents a critical examination of the current hype surrounding AI, addressing the misconception that machines may become superior to human intellect. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of recognizing the limitations of artificial intelligence and the risks of over-reliance on technology. As you navigate through 232 pages of compelling arguments, Collins harnesses the complexity of language and social understanding to highlight how far we are from truly replicating human cognition. This book prompts readers to rethink what we consider 'intelligence' and its social dimensions, making it essential reading for anyone intrigued by the future of machine learning.

Description:
Recent startling successes in machine intelligence using a technique called Âdeep learning™ seem to blur the line between human and machine as never before. Are computers on the cusp of becoming so intelligent that they will render humans obsolete? Harry Collins argues we are getting ahead of ourselves, caught up in images of a fantastical future dreamt up in fictional portrayals. The greater present danger is that we lose sight of the very real limitations of artificial intelligence and readily enslave ourselves to stupid computers: the ÂSurrender™. By dissecting the intricacies of language use and meaning, Collins shows how far we have to go before we cannot distinguish between the social understanding of humans and computers. When the stakes are so high, we need to set the bar higher: to rethink Âintelligence™ and recognize its inherent social basis. Only if machine learning succeeds on this count can we congratulate ourselves on having produced artificial intelligence.
