Description

An easily accessible survey of artificial intelligence (AI) and how one can evaluate whether AI succeeds or not.

Description

"Could a computer have a mind? What kind of machine would this be? Exactly what do we mean by 'mind' anyway? The notion of the 'intelligent' machine, whilst continuing to feature in numerous entertaining and frightening fictions, has also been the focus of a serious and dedicated research tradition. Reflecting on these fictions, and on the research tradition that pursues 'Artificial Intelligence', raises a number of vexing philosophical issues. Minds and Computers introduces readers to these issues by offering an engaging, coherent and highly approachable interdisciplinary introduction to the Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence."--book jacket.
