More about the book
Artificial intelligence has sparked significant debate, reminiscent of the controversies surrounding biological evolution. Despite its emergence in academic discussions fifty years ago, many philosophers and some scientists view the quest for thinking machines as akin to the medieval alchemists' elusive search for the philosopher's stone, driven more by belief than by rigorous skepticism. This ongoing discourse highlights the complex relationship between technology, philosophy, and the nature of intelligence itself.
