Another modern philosopher. Writing mostly on the subject of mind, soul, intelligence and of course computers and artificial intelligence, Penrose is a strong defender of human attributes against its machine imitations.
Good luck for him. I think he is wrong, but still his arguments are sound and his books are very informative.

The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds, Physics

|
| Shall computers will ever be as clever as we are? And how about their feelings?
Roger Penrose explains us that, they will never be as clever and as emotional as we are. This book is a strong opposition to those who think AI will succeed in recreating human intelligence. Penrose supports his arguments against AI with G”del's Theorem and Quantum Physics. A good deal can be learned on those subjects in this book. I cannot say I totally agree with Penrose in all aspects. However, this book is a very good philosphical discussion concerning AI. It is good reading whether you are a AI supporter or not. |
