Independent researcher Murray presents a philosophy of artificial intelligence based on structured modules of certain robot mind activities, as well as a software model based on the philosophy. The material is clearly aimed at an audience already well familiar with artificial intelligence programming and theoretical controversies. Writer's Club Pre
From the Author
AI4U: Mind-1.1 Programmer's Manual is a supplemental or stand-alone AI textbook with 34 chapters -- one for each of the 34 mind-modules of the tutorial artificial Mind-1.1 release. Each chapter starts with a brain-mind theory diagram to illustrate the mental process taking place in the implemented mind-module, and ends with AI laboratory/homework exercises ranging from the immediately practical to the most ambitious dreams of your AI imagination. The book as a whole introduces a
linguistic theory of mind (TOM) for AI. An epilogue on consciousness features a system diagram of the entire artificial mind. Although the complete JavaScript source code of the Mind-1.1 release is listed in the AI4U textbook so that computer science students may study the algorithm of any mind-module, there is no need to scan or key in the
code, because it is freely available on the Web as public-domain AI software that runs in the MSIE (Microsoft Internet Explorer) browser. The purchase of the First Edition AI4U book eliminates the need for Mind-1.1 users to pay a shareware fee for the free AI source code available by searching for "Mentifex" on the World Wide Web or by visiting the open-source "Mind" project at SourceForge.
