Description
Book SynopsisThis bookâs core argument is that an artificial intelligence that could equal or exceed human intelligence â sometimes called âartificial general intelligenceâ (AGI) â is for mathematical reasons impossible. It offers two specific reasons for this claim:
1. Human intelligence is a capability of the human brain and central nervous system, which is a complex dynamic system
2. Systems of this sort cannot be modelled mathematically in a way that allows them to operate inside a computer.
In supporting their claim, the authors, Jobst Landgrebe and Barry Smith, marshal evidence from mathematics, physics, computer science, philosophy, linguistics, biology, and anthropology, setting up their book around three central questions: What are the essential marks of human intelligence? What is it that researchers try to do when they attempt to achieve âœArtificial Intelligenceâ (AI)? And why, after more than 50 years, are our interactions with AI, for example with our bankâs compu
