Non-Computable YOU
What You Do That
Artificial Intelligence Never Will
By Robert J. Marks
Are Future Humans Doomed
to Be Replaced by Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial intelligence has largely replaced travel agents,
tollbooth attendants and mapmakers, but will smart machines / AI someday
replace attorneys, physicians, military strategies, and world leaders? What
about composers, painters, and novelists? Are we doomed to obsolescence by
tomorrow's ultra-powerful artificial intelligence? Robert J. Marks, a pioneer in
computing intelligence, says, "no way." In his new book, Non-Computable You: What You Do That Artificial Intelligence
Never Will Marks says as impressive as AI is,
it doesn't hold a candle to human intelligence... and it never
will. How does he know? The answer can be stated in one word: algorithm.
In NON-COMPUTABLE YOU, you will learn:
·
The difference between artificial intelligence (AI) and
artificial general intelligence (AGI);
·
That AI has achieved many incredible things - and continues
to do so... but that there are certain problems AI will never solve;
·
That AI will never be sentient;
·
About examples of how AI doesn't have common sense;
·
Why AI will never be creative;
·
That artificial general intelligence, or AGI, will never be
achieved by computers;
· That there is a cult religion forming
around AI called the AI church; and
·
Why great minds like Henry Kissinger and Stephen Hawking are
wrong about AI.
Catch a glimpse of the geniuses behind today's AI - their
foibles, follies, and friendships - as told by someone on the inside. Under
the author's steady and winsome guidance, learn about the exciting
possibilities for artificial intelligence, but also hear how many of the heady
claims for AI are provably overblown. Marks shows why there are some powers
AI will never possess, no matter what. These powers belong to another - to NON-COMPUTABLE
YOU.
"Emotions that make us human will never be duplicated
by a machine," says Marks. "These include compassion, love,
empathy, elation, sadness, fear, anger, disgust, pleasure, pride,
excitement, embarrassment, regret, jealousy, grief, hope, and faith.
Properly defined, creativity, sentience, and understanding are also on the
list. These and other non-algorithmic traits are evidence of NON-COMPUTABLE
YOU."
Machine intelligence may someday have the proper code to
duplicate all human attributes. Impersonate, perhaps, but experience,
no. AI will never be creative or have understanding. Machines may
mimic certain other human traits but will never duplicate them. AI can be
programmed only to simulate love, compassion, and understanding.
"Written
brilliantly by an expert who served as Editor in Chief of a leading AI
journal and who helped lay the foundations of the field."
