Description:

Artificial intelligence is currently the subject of intense debate. This is a collection of classical and contemporary readings, with an editor's introduction and an up to date reading list, which provides the reader with some guidelines for considering this topic. It disputes whether `artificial' intelligence is a contradiction in terms, and asks how far it is possible for a computer to imitate the human mind.

Synopsis:

Is 'artificial intelligence' a contradiction in terms? Could computers (in principle) model every aspect of the mind, including logic, language, and emotion? What of the more brain-like, connectionist computers: could they really understand, even if digital computers cannot? This collection of classic and contemporary readings (which includes an editor's introduction and an up-to-date reading list) provides a clearly signposted pathway into hotly disputed philosophical issues at the heart of artificial intelligence.
