An early, thorough, philosophical critique of expert systems
17 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As someone who enjoys reading about artificial intelligence, this is one of the most accessible philosophical critiques of expert systems development. A good read and still relevant even though I first read this over 15 years ago.

Mind Over Machine by Dreyfuss and Dreyfuss
25 Jan 2004
Format:Hardcover
The authors discuss the difficulties inherent in programming
intuitive skills into an expert system. Examples of programming
patterns of light and dark regions on x-rays are illustrated.
X-rays can be stored into memory and compared to known
diagnostic attributes. With enough experience, you can profile
the optimal decision for many groups of related situations.
This is a good reference work for explaining practical
problems in implementing artificial intelligence algorithms.

Artificial Intelligences Exist Today
9 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
Scientists have formulated at least 100 definitions of intelligence. (for a partial listing see www.vetta.org/definitions-of-intelligence/)
Several computer programs exist which qualify as intelligent according to at least the vast majority of these definitions. (for instance my Asa,
Trans. of the Kansas Acad, of Sci., vol. 109, # 3/4, pg 159, 2006,
www.bioone.org/archive/0022-8443/109/3/pdf/i0022-8443-109-3-159.pdf)
Not all creatures are equally intelligent so there is no need for an AI to be as intelligent as the average human. In point of fact, however, AIs exist which outperform humans at a number of important tasks.
