Intelligence is not Artificial - Expanded Edition: A History of Artificial Intelligence and Why the Singularity is not Coming any Time Soon

by Piero Scaruffi

This book provides a detailed history of Artificial Intelligence, and a "reality check." Themes explored in this book include: - Most of the "intelligence" of our machines is due to the environment that humans structure for them. - We are building "vast algorithmic bureaucracies" all around us. - Automation is an effect, not a cause. - The danger is not that machines will become as intelligent as us but that we will become as dumb as them (the Turing Test in reverse). - We have always coexisted with super-human (or, better, non-human) intelligence. - The Singularity is simply a religion for the god-less 21st century.
