Description:
The twenty-first century has spawned a new form of intelligence that threatens to surpass human intelligence, fueling a controversy rivaled only by the debate surrounding evolution. Artificial intelligence focuses on the evolution of the machine. In Touching the Grail, journalist Sam Williams introduces readers to the cast of characters at the center of this maelstrom, both proponents and critics of artificial intelligence -- Ray Kurzweil, Jaron Lanier, Marvin Minsky, Bill Joy -- people who are not only changing the way computers "think", but the way we think about computers.
Expand description
In addressing a field that has inspired off-the-wall predictions and quasi-religious fervor, Touching the Grail gives us a much-needed guide that differentiates scientific fact from science fiction, and innate fears from healthy concerns.
