The Most Human Human is a provocative, exuberant, and profound exploration of the ways in which computers are reshaping our ideas of what it means to be human. Its starting point is the annual Turing Test, which pits artificial intelligence programs against people to determine if computers can “think.” Named for computer pioneer Alan Turing, the Turing Test convenes a panel of judges who pose questions—ranging anywhere from celebrity gossip to moral conundrums—to hidden contestants in an attempt to discern which is human and which is a computer. The machine that most often fools the panel wins the Most Human Computer Award. But there is also a prize, bizarre and intriguing, for the Most Human Human. In 2008, the top AI program came short of passing the Turing Test by just one astonishing vote. In 2009, Brian Christian was chosen to participate, and he set out to make sure Homo sapiens would prevail. The author’s quest to be deemed more human than a computer opens a window onto our own nature. Interweaving modern phenomena like customer service “chatbots” and men using programmed dialogue to pick up women in bars with insights from fields as diverse as chess, psychiatry, and the law, Brian Christian examines the philosophical, biological, and moral issues raised by the Turing Test. One central definition of human has been “a being that could reason.” If computers can reason, what does that mean for the special place we reserve for humanity?

When it was first published in 1972, Hubert Dreyfus's manifesto on the inherent inability of disembodied machines to mimic higher mental functions caused an uproar in the artificial intelligence community. The world has changed since then. Today it is clear that "good old-fashioned AI," based on the idea of using symbolic representations to produce general intelligence, is in decline (although several believers still pursue its pot of gold), and the focus of the Al community has shifted to more complex models of the mind. It has also become more common for AI researchers to seek out and study philosophy. For this edition of his now classic book, Dreyfus has added a lengthy new introduction outlining these changes and assessing the paradigms of connectionism and neural networks that have transformed the field.At a time when researchers were proposing grand plans for general problem solvers and automatic translation machines, Dreyfus predicted that they would fail because their conception of mental functioning was naive, and he suggested that they would do well to acquaint themselves with modern philosophical approaches to human beings. What Computers Can't Do was widely attacked but quietly studied. Dreyfus's arguments are still provocative and focus our attention once again on what it is that makes human beings unique.Hubert L. Dreyfus, who is Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, is also the author of Being-in-the-World. A Commentary on Heidegger's Being and Time, Division I.

Minds, Brains and Science takes up just the problems that perplex people, and it does what good philosophy always does: it dispels the illusion caused by the specious collision of truths. How can we accept an intuitive commonsense view of ourselves as conscious, free, rational agents in a universe that science tells us consists of mindless physical particles? Searle briskly and lucidly sets out his arguments against the familiar positions in the philosophy of mind, and details the consequences of his ideas for the mind-body problem, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and the philosophy of the social sciences. Searle's book is an admirably clear and vigorous exposition of his views on a connected set of philosophical issues of importance and timeliness. --John Perry This book is aggressive, zealous, and acute. Searle's manner is that of a plain man in possession of plain truths that no one can reject if they are plainly enough stated. I cannot think of another book quite like it. --Arthur Danto

不远的将来，人工智能机器的智能将是人类的万亿个万亿倍，它们面对我们，并不像我们面对狗，而是如同我们面对蚊子、跳蚤甚至岩石，当它们消灭我们的时候，如同我们将蚊子拍死，将臭虫冲进下水道，谁会在消灭跳蚤的时候觉得这样太残忍了呢？！这也许是人类逃脱不了的宿命，这也使德·加里斯教授认为有责任写这本书。我知道如果不让地球上每个人都对这个关乎人类存亡的问题知情并且思考，那么书中所描写的比所有科幻电影更刺激、可怕的事情很有可能发生，甚至更加糟糕。希望每个人都来关注，希望每个人都来思考，希望这一切都还来得及……

Today's Web-enabled deluge of electronic data calls for automated methods of data analysis. Machine learning provides these, developing methods that can automatically detect patterns in data and then use the uncovered patterns to predict future data. This textbook offers a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to the field of machine learning, a unified, probabilistic approach. The coverage combines breadth and depth, offering necessary background material on such topics as probability, optimization, and linear algebra as well as discussion of recent developments in the field, including conditional random fields, L1 regularization, and deep learning. The book is written in an informal, accessible style, complete with pseudo-code for the most important algorithms. All topics are copiously illustrated with color images and worked examples drawn from such application domains as biology, text processing, computer vision, and robotics. Rather than providing a cookbook of different heuristic methods, the book stresses a principled model-based approach, often using the language of graphical models to specify models in a concise and intuitive way. Almost all the models described have been implemented in a MATLAB software package--PMTK (probabilistic modeling toolkit)--that is freely available online. The book is suitable for upper-level undergraduates with an introductory-level college math background and beginning graduate students.

For one or two-semester, undergraduate or graduate-level courses in Artificial Intelligence. The long-anticipated revision of this best-selling text offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date introduction to the theory and practice of artificial intelligence.

How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body? In How the Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independent of the body but is tightly constrained, and at the same time enabled, by it. They argue that the kinds of thoughts we are capable of have their foundation in our embodiment--in our morphology and the material properties of our bodies.This crucial notion of embodiment underlies fundamental changes in the field of artificial intelligence over the past two decades, and Pfeifer and Bongard use the basic methodology of artificial intelligence--"understanding by building"--to describe their insights. If we understand how to design and build intelligent systems, they reason, we will better understand intelligence in general. In accessible, nontechnical language, and using many examples, they introduce the basic concepts by building on recent developments in robotics, biology, neuroscience, and psychology to outline a possible theory of intelligence. They illustrate applications of such a theory in ubiquitous computing, business and management, and the psychology of human memory. Embodied intelligence, as described by Pfeifer and Bongard, has important implications for our understanding of both natural and artificial intelligence.

Continuing his exploration of the organization of complexity and the science of design, this new edition of Herbert Simon's classic work on artificial intelligence adds a chapter that sorts out the current themes and tools -- chaos, adaptive systems, genetic algorithms -- for analyzing complexity and complex systems.There are updates throughout the book as well. These take into account important advances in cognitive psychology and the science of design while confirming and extending the book's basic thesis: that a physical symbol system has the necessary and sufficient means for intelligent action. The chapter "Economic Reality" has also been revised to reflect a change in emphasis in Simon's thinking about the respective roles of organizations and markets in economic systems.

《情感计算》主要内容：目前这个世界与我当时写这《情感计算》时大不一样。当时情感计算几乎是令人困惑的，只有极 少数的计算机界科学家或工程师愿意投入此项工作。计算机本身具有类似于情感机制的这种 观点不是新的，它在Cap&Brother剧本R．U．R．创造出世界“机器人”这一词时就出现了，但具有有效情感机制的计算机实际上并不存在。有关人工智能的会议要么是忽视情感，要么是把情感边缘化。情感智能的观念在心理学和认知科学中变得越发重要，但没有人把它应用到人机交互中。神经科学和心理学上早已发现关于情感在决策、感知、创造性等方面的作用，而计算科学在很大程度上并不知晓。许多人不知道情感有助于理性和智能行为，普遍认为计算机的情感是一种空洞无聊的东西，就像蛋糕表面上的一层糖霜，可以用来使之更为悦目，但没有真正实质上的意义。 我感谢当时与我讨论情感计算的几个同事。在出版《情感计算》的前一年，我记得，麻省理工学院(MIT)人工智能实验室的一批研究人员邀请我发言，他们对以下问题十分感兴趣，即赋予计算机以类似情感机制这件事的重要程度如何，以及为什么这件事能对人工智能有用?情感即使带来好处，是否会造成更多的麻烦?答案不太明显，需要加以解释；而他们很欢迎这方面的证据。媒体实验室及其他单位的一些人员愿意听我的论证、提出问题、提出他们的想法和批评意见，甚至协作研究，得出了新的悟解。有些人特别是一些尚未取得终身任职的学术界的同行告诉我说：我的想法是荒唐的，我已经享有严肃研究者的声誉，致力于机器具有情感的研究可能会毁掉我的名誉。我记得我曾深刻内省，以决定是否继续从事这项研究。坦率地说，如果我工作在传统的学术部门，而不是在这样一个实验室，那里的领导层，特别是JerryWiesner和NicholasNegronte，经常公开地称颂大胆的想法并强烈鼓励冒险，我是不会像这样全心全意投入这项研究的。 已经过去五年多了。今天，很难想像当时我竟会感到那样害怕。计算机中情感的研究，已经为很多学术界和工业界顶级的研究实验室接受，并引起了国际上的重大关注。 自从《情感计算》出版后，已经有20多个专题讨论会、会议以及特定集会，其主题均围绕情感和计算机运算，而且通常把情感计算列为一个学科领域。我不能、也不会对世界上这种改变自我居功。事实是，真理不依赖任何个人的努力而找到自己前进的道路。在追求它的过程中，我们在黑暗中苦苦探求、苦苦摸索，而不变的真理按自己的条件终于显露出来。试图理解情感就是试图认识事物的真实面目。最终，我们可以清楚地看到事物的原貌，理解人工智能和一切人类进程是如何进行的。
