 The Emotion Machine The Emotion Machine. Minsky, Marvin. Simon & Schuster. Hardcover. The Emotion Machine. Our minds are working all the time, but we rarely stop to think about how they work. The human mind has many different ways to think, says Marvin Minsky, the leading figure in artificial intelligence and computer science. We use these different ways of thinking in different circumstances, and some of them we don´t even associate with thinking. For example, emotions, intuitions, and feelings are just other forms of thinking, according to Minsky. In his groundbreaking new work, The Emotion Machine, Minsky shows why we should expand our ideas about thinking and how thinking itself might change in the future.. 9780743276634. 0743276639. 387pag. xx.Ingles (English). |

The Age of Spiritual Machines is no mere list of predictions but a prophetic blueprint for the future. Kurzweil guides us through the inexorable advances that will result in computers exceeding the memory capacity and computational ability of the human brain. According to Kurzweil, machines will achieve all this by 2020, with human attributes not far behind. We will begin to have relationships with automated personalities and use them as teachers, companions, and lovers. A mere ten years later, information will be fed straight into our brains along direct neural pathways; computers, for their part, will have read all the world´s literature. The distinction between us and computers will have become sufficiently blurred that when the machines claim to be conscious, we will believe them.. 9780140282023. 0140282025. 388pag. 23x15x2.Ingles (English). |

 Mind at Light Speed Mind at Light Speed. Nolte, David D.. Free Press. Hardcover. Mind at Light Speed. Mind at Light Speed is the ultimate story of artificial intelligence - and how it will revolutionize the world in which we live. David Nolte, Professor of Physics at Purdue University, and his research colleagues have devoted their lives to building computers that use light instead of electricity for computation. These machines will be so fast and efficient that they will generate a new kind of intelligence, which for centuries has only been dreamed of by visionaries and mystics. That science fiction is now real.. 9780743205016. 0743205014. 303pag. 24x16x2.Ingles (English). |
