A concise and illuminating history of the field of artificial intelligence from one of its earliest and most respected pioneers.
AI & I is an intellectual history of the field of artificial intelligence from the perspective of one of its first practitioners, Eugene Charniak. Charniak entered the field in 1967, roughly 12 years after AI's founding, and was involved in many of AI's formative milestones. In this book, he traces the trajectory of breakthroughs and disappointments of the discipline up to the current day, clearly and engagingly demystifying this oft revered and misunderstood technology. His argument is controversial but well supported: that classical AI has been almost uniformly unsuccessful and that the modern deep learning approach should be viewed as the foundation for all the exciting developments that are to come.
Written for the scientifically educated layperson, this book chronicles the history of the field of AI, starting with its origin in 1956, as a topic for a small academic workshop held at Dartmouth University. From there, the author covers reasoning and knowledge representation, reasoning under uncertainty, chess, computer vision, speech recognition, language acquisition, deep learning, and learning writ large. Ultimately, Charniak takes issue with the controversy of AI--the fear that its invention means the end of jobs, creativity, and potentially even humans as a species--and explains why such concerns are unfounded. Instead, he believes that we should embrace the technology and all its potential to benefit society.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一本簡明且啟發性的人工智慧歷史，來自其最早且最受尊敬的先驅之一。
《AI & I》是一本從人工智慧早期實踐者之一尤金·查尼亞克（Eugene Charniak）視角出發的知識歷史。查尼亞克於1967年進入該領域，距離人工智慧的創立約12年，並參與了許多人工智慧的形成性里程碑。在這本書中，他追溯了該學科的突破與失望的軌跡，直到當前，清晰且引人入勝地揭示了這項常被尊崇卻又被誤解的技術。他的論點雖具爭議性，但有充分的支持：傳統人工智慧幾乎一致地未能成功，而現代深度學習方法應被視為所有未來激動人心發展的基礎。
這本書是為科學素養的外行人所寫，記錄了人工智慧領域的歷史，從1956年在達特茅斯大學舉辦的小型學術研討會的起源開始。接著，作者涵蓋了推理與知識表徵、不確定性下的推理、棋類、計算機視覺、語音識別、語言習得、深度學習以及更廣泛的學習。最終，查尼亞克對人工智慧的爭議提出質疑——對於其發明意味著工作、創造力，甚至人類作為一個物種的終結的恐懼——並解釋了為何這些擔憂是毫無根據的。相反，他認為我們應該擁抱這項技術及其所有潛力，以造福社會。
