-- How to Create a Mind Kurzweil discusses how the brain functions, how the mind emerges from the brain, and the implications of vastly increasing the powers of our intelligence in addressing the world?s problems. He thoughtfully examines emotional and moral intelligence and the origins of consciousness and envisions the radical possibilities of our merging with the intelligent technology we are creating. Certain to be one of the most widely discussed and debated science books of the year, How to Create a Mind.
Good book. I removed a star because I thought it was going to be more than it was. I guess I thought it was not so much describe the way the brain works. And the accomplishments of current thought and actions and be more about the algorithms that are being used to mirror those processes.
Nonetheless, it is still a good book to read if one is deciding to go into Artificial Intelligence.
