Description
We are on the cusp of a revolution in how computers think and interact with us. For years, computers have been seen as a step up from calculators, exceling at storing information and playing logical games. However, their ability to think intuitively and respond to questions like humans has been limited. Recent breakthroughs have dramatically changed this, with search engines becoming answer engines and artificial intelligence transforming sectors such as education, healthcare, and the creative arts. But how do AI systems truly understand sentiment and context? How do they play and win games with an almost infinite number of moves? Nigel Toon explores how we train AI to train itself, enabling it to create new images and converse in any language. In doing so, he reveals the fascinating ways that humans think, too, as we learn to coexist with machine intelligences of our own creation. By understanding how AI thinks, we can unlock new insights and innovations that surpass human capacity. This book offers a unique perspective on the future of AI and its potential to shape our world.
