Intelligence Is Not Artificial - Expanded Edition

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 dueto 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.
