As more computers begin to assist (or replace) humans in various fields, more people are becoming curious, asking questions, and engaging in debates about AI. One of the latest books on this topic is Possible Minds: 25 Ways of Looking at AI by John Brockman. According to the publisher, “Brockman assembles twenty-five of the most important scientific minds, people who have been thinking about the field artificial intelligence for most of their careers, for an unparalleled round-table examination about mind, thinking, intelligence and what it means to be human.” For even more news and information on this topic, you can perform a subject search for Artificial Intelligence in our library system catalog.
