Description
Hans Moravec's Mind Children offers a thought-provoking vision of the future, as he speculates about the potential for artificial intelligence to surpass human capabilities. Written in 1988, this book presents a compelling argument that we are approaching a significant turning point in the history of life, where the boundaries between biological and postbiological intelligence will begin to blur. Moravec argues that mobility is critical for achieving human equivalence in machines, as it enables them to evolve a richer fund of knowledge about an ever-changing world. He believes that within forty years, robots will be able to reason, perceive, interact with their environment, and adapt to new situations, all thanks to advances in computational power. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the possibilities and challenges of creating intelligent machines, and is sure to appeal to anyone interested in the future of artificial intelligence.
