Know this : today's most interesting and important scientific ideas, discoveries, and developments
\"The latest volume in the bestselling series from Edge.org--dubbed \"the world's smartest website\" by The Guardian--brings together 175 of the world's most innovative and brilliant thinkers to discuss recent scientific breakthroughs that will shape the future. Scientific developments radically alter our understanding of the world. Whether it's technology, climate change, health research, or the latest revelations of neuroscience, physics, or psychology, science has, as Edge editor John Brockman says, \"become a big story, if not the big story.\" In that spirit, this new addition to Edge.org's fascinating series asks a powerful and provocative question: What do you consider the most interesting and important recent scientific news?\"--Amazon.com.
Possible minds : twenty-five ways of looking at AI
\"Science world luminary John Brockman assembles twenty-five of the most important scientific minds, people who have been thinking about the field artificial intelligence for most of their careers, for an unparalleled round-table examination about mind, thinking, intelligence and what it means to be human\"-- Provided by publisher.
What to think about machines that think : today's leading thinkers on the age of machine intelligence
As the world becomes ever more dominated by technology, Brockman asks more than 175 scientists, philosophers, and artists: what do you think about machines that think? The development of artificial intelligence has been a source of fascination and anxiety ever since Alan Turing formalized the concept in 1950. Today, Stephen Hawking believes that AI \"could spell the end of the human race.\" At the very least, its development raises complicated moral issues with powerful real-world implications--for us and for our machines. Recording artist Brian Eno proposes that we're already part of an AI: global civilization, or what TED curator Chris Anderson elsewhere calls the hive mind. And author Pamela McCorduck considers what drives us to pursue AI in the first place. On the existential threat posed by superintelligent machines, Steven Pinker questions the likelihood of a robot uprising. Douglas Coupland traces discomfort with human-programmed AI to deeper fears about what constitutes \"humanness.\"
