What computers still can't do Hubert L. Dreyfus · 1972 · ★ 4.2 · 354p · ≈ 11h · Moderate When it was first published in 1972, Hubert Dreyfus's manifesto on the inherent inability of disembodied machines to mimic higher mental functions caused an uproar in the artificial intelligence community. The world has changed since then. Today it is clear that "good old-fashioned AI," based on the idea of using symbolic representations to produce general intelligence, is in decline (although… Shares: Enterprise Applications, Intelligence, Intelligence artificielle, Computers

Superintelligence Nick Bostrom · 2014 · ★ 4.0 · 352p · ≈ 11h · Moderate The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. Other animals have stronger muscles or sharper claws, but we have cleverer brains. If machine brains one day come to surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become very powerful. As the fate of… Shares: Sciences cognitives, Cognitive Science, Intelligence artificielle, Computers

Consciousness Susan J. Blackmore · 2003 · ★ 3.9 · 552p · ≈ 18h · Moderate Consciousness', 'the last great mystery for science', remains a hot topic. How can a physical brain create our experience of the world? What creates our identity? Do we really have free will? Could consciousness itself be an illusion? Exciting new developments in brain science are continuing the debates on these issues, and the field has now expanded to include biologists, neuroscientists,… Shares: Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Science

The Alignment Problem Brian Christian · 2020 · ★ 4.3 · 356p · ≈ 11h · Moderate "A jaw-dropping exploration of everything that goes wrong when we build AI systems-and the movement to fix them. Today's "machine-learning" systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us-and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms… Shares: Cognitive Science, Intelligence artificielle, Computers, Artificial Intelligence

Conceptual coordination William J. Clancey · 1999 · 424p · ≈ 14h · Moderate This book bridges the gap between models of human behavior that are based on cognitive task analysis and those based on neural networks. The author argues that these approaches are incomplete and not properly related to each other. His synthesis reconciles the very different conceptualizations of human memory assumed by these two approaches by assuming that 'what the brain remembers' is not a… Shares: Sciences cognitives, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence

Knowledge spaces Dietrich Albert · 1999 · 240p · ≈ 8h · Moderate Based on the formal concept of "knowledge structures" originally proposed by Jean-Claude Falmagne and Jean-Paul Doignon, this book contains descriptions of methodological developments and experimental investigations as well as applications for various knowledge domains. The authors address three main topics: theoretical issues and extensions of Doignon & Falmagne's theory of knowledge… Shares: Cognitive Science, Intelligence artificielle, Computers, Artificial Intelligence

Pink, the author of the groundbreaking bestseller A Whole New Mind, comes his next big idea book: a paradigm-changing examination of what truly motivates us and how to harness that knowledge to find greater satisfaction in our lives and our work.We've been conditioned to think that the best way to motivate ourselves and others is through external rewards like money—the… Shares: Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Science

Perceptrons Marvin Minsky · 1969 · ★ 4.1 · 283p · ≈ 9h · Moderate In machine learning, the perceptron is an algorithm for supervised learning of binary classifiers. A binary classifier is a function that can decide whether or not an input, represented by a vector of numbers, belongs to some specific class. It is a type of linear classifier, i.e. a classification algorithm that makes its predictions based on a linear predictor function combining a set of… Shares: Computer Books: General, Computers, Artificial Intelligence
