4.0 out of 5 stars An early, thorough, philosophical critique of expert systems
As someone who enjoys reading about artificial intelligence, this is one of the most accessible philosophical critiques of expert systems development. A good read and still relevant even though I first read this over 15 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind Over Machine by Dreyfuss and Dreyfuss, January 25, 2004
The authors discuss the difficulties inherent in programming
intuitive skills into an expert system. Examples of programming
patterns of light and dark regions on x-rays are illustrated.
X-rays can be stored into memory and compared to known
diagnostic attributes. With enough experience, you can profile
the optimal decision for many groups of related situations.
This is a good reference work for explaining practical
problems in implementing artificial intelligence algorithms.

Not all creatures are equally intelligent so there is no need for an AI to be as intelligent as the average human. In point of fact, however, AIs exist which outperform humans at a number of important tasks.
