3.0 out of 5 starsA review of Artificial General Intelligence
By Robert Jones on October 29, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
If you are interested in human-level artificial intelligence you probably should own this book. I liked reading the book and am glad I own it but there are criticisms. Most of the book is too qualitative. Even where prototype software has been deployed algorithms are not given, even in pseudocode. Too much of the book is speculation. I also think that too little attention has been paid to the control of complexity.

5.0 out of 5 starsIntroduction to the most ambitious projects ever undertaken in the history of technology
By Dr. Lee D. Carlson HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on March 21, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
In the past five decades, the field of artificial intelligence has made significant progress, some of which can be characterized as radical departures with the past, while some as steady progress built on preconceived ideas. In general, progress in any field of endeavor is recognized by the participants and by the observers thereof, but this has not been the case in artificial intelligence. With few exceptions anytime an advance is made in this field it is at first greeted with a great deal of enthusiasm, and the algorithms it deploys are viewed as "intelligent." After some time however (and this time is relatively short) the algorithms are "understood" and are then designated as mere "programs" that certainly cannot be considered as intelligent. The "advance" finds its place in history as "trivial", and certainly not to be given any further consideration as "intelligent". Consequently, intelligent machines are always considered to be just beyond the horizon, as a goal to be achieved when better technology and algorithms are available.

But again, progress has been made in artificial intelligence: there are intelligent machines and they are used quite extensively in business and industry. But these machines are limited if one judges them from the standpoint of what is possible using human intelligence. The algorithms, or reasoning patterns that they deploy, are limited to working in a specific domain, such as finance, radiology, or network engineering. Human intelligence on the contrary can function in many different domains: a good chess player can also be a good musician or a good architect.Read more ›
