The Romance of Artificial Intelligence

Summer. 5 I read an interesting book back then.The Romance of Artificial Intelligence"by the authorship of the Flood, which came out in the distant 2016 year. I loved this book, which left more questions than answers.) And one of the main thoughts that went through the whole book was the idea that there was a 2 Question about AI:

  1. What is intelligence and how to create a system that is at least equivalent to a person, and maybe even superior to him.
  2. Local – how to create an effective technical model for each individual intellectual process And now all research on AI solves problems 2 Types that are applied and potentially well monetized:)

In general, the book consists of 7 chapters:

  1. The Millennium challenge is to reflect on what intelligence is and what it is not.
  2. The whole life game - consideration of ways to teach artificial intelligence to play a variety of games
  3. Artificial and learnable intelligence - a consideration of the inherent property of intelligence, namely the possibility of learning
  4. Network architecture – where is it without neural networks?)
  5. Image recognition is also a very popular topic with a number of achievements.
  6. Artificial cognition – from logical theorem inference systems to self-organizing AI systems:)
  7. Intellect equal to human?! - a message to the world of AI from the author and a whole cohort of researchers, by bringing their selected quotes on a given topic. In total, the book is easy to read and contains almost no mathematics, because it serves the purpose of popularizing artificial intelligence.

P.S. Special thanks to the author for the fact that in the chapter on games the main examples were considered on the basis of chess:

  • brutewood
  • evaluation function
  • minimax and alpha-beta algorithm different stages of the game and changing the evaluation function based on the priorities of factors at different stages

I felt déjà vu because I played chess for many years:)
