It offers two specific reasons for this claim: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuman intelligence is a capability of a complex dynamic system-the human brain and central nervous system.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystems of this sort cannot be modelled mathematically in a way that allows them to operate inside a computer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn supporting their claim, the authors, Jobst Landgrebe and Barry Smith, marshal evidence from mathematics, physics, computer science, philosophy, linguistics, and biology, setting up their book around three central questions: What are the essential marks of human intelligence? What is it that researchers try to do when they attempt to achieve \"artificial intelligence\" (AI)? And why, after more than 50 years, are our most common interactions with AI, for example with our bank's computers, still so unsatisfactory?　\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLandgrebe and Smith show how a widespread fear about AI's potential to bring about radical changes in the nature of human beings and in the human social order is founded on an error. There is still, as they demonstrate in a final chapter, a great deal that AI can achieve which will benefit humanity. But these benefits will be achieved without the aid of systems that are more powerful than humans, which are as impossible as AI systems that are intrinsically \"evil\" or able to \"will\" a takeover of human society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jobst Landgrebe, Barry Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032315164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032315164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Jobst Landgrebe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128287097087,"sku":"9781032315164","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_239d97bc-8376-4a87-a11e-ae3d50158d0b.jpg?v=1687457936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-machines-will-never-rule-jobst-landgrebe-9781032315164","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
