Description

Hubert L. Dreyfus's influential work challenges the idea that machines can replicate human thought and intelligence. First published in 1972, this groundbreaking book sparked controversy in the artificial intelligence community, but its relevance has endured. In this updated edition, Dreyfus reflects on the significant changes in the field of AI since its initial publication. He assesses the shift towards more complex models of the mind and the increasing importance of philosophical approaches to human beings. This new introduction provides a timely update on the current state of AI research and its limitations. Dreyfus's arguments remain provocative, highlighting what makes human beings unique and challenging the notion that machines can truly replicate intelligence. A thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and humanity.
