{"product_id":"borges-and-artificial-intelligence-ema-lapidot-9780820413761","title":"Borges and Artificial Intelligence: An Analysis in the Style of Pierre Menard","description":"This book analyzes the tight weave between literature and science found in Borges' writings. Of the many aspects of scientific thought found in Borges' work, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one even though the author was not aware of the existence of this technology. Borges discusses explicitly the mechanization of thoughts in some of his essays. Drawing on Borges' idea that it is the reader, and not the writer, who sets the meaning on a text, a contemporary reader finds that many concepts of AI technology are implicit in his short stories, ideas such as  hardware ,  software ,  memory ,  program  and  programmer ,  data , and so on. His essential skepticism echoes the skeptics of present-day AI scientists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ema Lapidot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820413763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820413761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ema Lapidot","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241114251519,"sku":"9780820413761","price":53.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad24a3ce-1e71-4f89-b6b7-3e5dbaa938ac.jpg?v=1772652799","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/borges-and-artificial-intelligence-ema-lapidot-9780820413761","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
