商品描述
What intelligence really is, and how AI's emergence is a natural consequence of evolution. It has come as a shock to some AI researchers that a large neural net that predicts next words seems to produce a system with general intelligence. Yet this is consistent with a long-held view among some neuroscientists that the brain evolved precisely to predict the future--the "predictive brain" hypothesis. In What Is Intelligence?, Blaise Agüera y Arcas takes up this idea--that prediction is fundamental not only to intelligence and the brain, but to life itself--and explores the wide-ranging implications. These include radical new perspectives on the computational properties of living systems, the evolutionary and social origins of intelligence, the relationship between models and reality, entropy and the nature of time, the meaning of free will, the problem of consciousness, and the ethics of machine intelligence. The book offers a unified picture of intelligence from molecules to organisms, societies, and AI, drawing from a wide array of literature in many fields, including computer science and machine learning, biology, physics, and neuroscience. It also adds recent and novel findings from the author, his research team, and colleagues. Combining technical rigor and deep up-to-the-minute knowledge about AI development, the natural sciences (especially neuroscience), and philosophical literacy, What Is Intelligence? argues--quite against the grain--that certain modern AI systems do indeed have a claim to intelligence, consciousness, and free will.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
智慧的真正意義，以及人工智慧的出現是進化的自然結果。
對某些人工智慧研究者來說，一個預測下一個單詞的大型神經網絡似乎產生了一個具有一般智慧的系統，這讓他們感到震驚。然而，這與一些神經科學家長期以來的觀點是一致的，即大腦的進化恰恰是為了預測未來——這被稱為「預測大腦」假說。 在智慧是什麼？中，Blaise Agüera y Arcas 探討了這一觀點——預測不僅對智慧和大腦至關重要，對生命本身也是如此——並深入探討其廣泛的影響。這些影響包括對生命系統計算特性的激進新視角、智慧的進化和社會起源、模型與現實之間的關係、熵與時間的本質、自由意志的意義、意識的問題，以及機器智慧的倫理。 本書提供了一個從分子到有機體、社會和人工智慧的統一智慧圖景，並從計算機科學和機器學習、生物學、物理學和神經科學等多個領域的廣泛文獻中汲取靈感。它還加入了作者、他的研究團隊和同事的最新和新穎的研究發現。結合技術的嚴謹性和對人工智慧發展、自然科學（特別是神經科學）以及哲學素養的深刻了解，智慧是什麼？主張——這與主流觀點相悖——某些現代人工智慧系統確實有資格聲稱擁有智慧、意識和自由意志。作者簡介
