Description

On Intelligence explores a new and compelling theory of intelligence, brain function, and the future of intelligent machines. Jeff Hawkins, inventor of the PalmPilot and Treo smartphone, presents a powerful understanding of how the human brain works and its implications for building intelligent machines.

The book reveals that the brain is not a computer, but a memory system that stores experiences in a way that reflects the true structure of the world. This memory-prediction system forms the basis of intelligence, perception, creativity, and even consciousness. Hawkins shows how a clear understanding of how the brain works will make it possible for us to build intelligent machines, in silicon, that will exceed human ability in surprising ways.

Written with acclaimed science writer Sandra Blakeslee, On Intelligence promises to transform our understanding of the technology age. This landmark book offers a fresh perspective on the possibilities of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on society.
