Hal's Legacy 2001'S Computer as Dream and Reality
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Mit Pr
- Publish date: 04/01/1998
Description:
Inspired by HAL's self-proclaimed birth date, HAL's Legacy reflects upon science fiction's most famous computer and explores the relationship between science fantasy and technological fact. The informative, nontechnical chapters written especially for this book describe many of the areas of computer science critical to the design of intelligent machines, discuss whether scientists in the 1960s were accurate about the prospects for advancement in their fields, and look at how HAL has influenced scientific research.
Expand description
Contributions by leading scientists look at the technologies that would be critical if we were, as Arthur Clarke and Stanley Kubrick imagined thirty years ago, to try and build HAL in 1997. A separate chapter by philosopher Daniel Dennett considers the ethical implications of intelligent machines.
