What's the big idea? Artificial intelligence
This book looks at what human intelligence is - how a hundred thousand million interconnected neurons are responsible for learning and memory - and asks if computers can ever be truly intelligent.
A computer can mimic our intelligence, for example by playing chess, but it is dependent on following a complicated program. However, computers are now being developed which are not programmed at all, but use neural networks to simulate the way the brain learns and remembers.
