Автор: Smith Brian Cantwell Название: The Promise of Artificial Intelligence: Reckoning and Judgment ISBN: 0262043041 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780262043045 Издательство: MIT Press Рейтинг: Цена: 28160.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: An argument that--despite dramatic advances in the field--artificial intelligence is nowhere near developing systems that are genuinely intelligent.
In this provocative book, Brian Cantwell Smith argues that artificial intelligence is nowhere near developing systems that are genuinely intelligent. Second wave AI, machine learning, even visions of third-wave AI: none will lead to human-level intelligence and judgment, which have been honed over millennia. Recent advances in AI may be of epochal significance, but human intelligence is of a different order than even the most powerful calculative ability enabled by new computational capacities. Smith calls this AI ability "reckoning," and argues that it does not lead to full human judgment--dispassionate, deliberative thought grounded in ethical commitment and responsible action.
Taking judgment as the ultimate goal of intelligence, Smith examines the history of AI from its first-wave origins ("good old-fashioned AI," or GOFAI) to such celebrated second-wave approaches as machine learning, paying particular attention to recent advances that have led to excitement, anxiety, and debate. He considers each AI technology's underlying assumptions, the conceptions of intelligence targeted at each stage, and the successes achieved so far. Smith unpacks the notion of intelligence itself--what sort humans have, and what sort AI aims at.
Smith worries that, impressed by AI's reckoning prowess, we will shift our expectations of human intelligence. What we should do, he argues, is learn to use AI for the reckoning tasks at which it excels while we strengthen our commitment to judgment, ethics, and the world.

Brian J Smith was one of a large family, born into poverty and what would now be called, a slum dwelling.
He did his part - passed the 11 plus, but poverty denied him a grammar school education. It seemed he was destined to be amongst the 'also- rans'. As if in confirmation, he left secondary school at 15 years of age without a solitary citation and spent a few years meandering between jobs.
Then came the change - Brian returned to school, college to be precise. His achievements there earned him a position with a major High Street banks. He passed his professional examinations and was admitted into the Chartered Institute of Bankers. He went on to qualify to lecture at colleges and universities and to earn a BSc (Hons) in psychology.
He is now a member of the British Psychological Society, registered as a debt psychologist.

Washington State is about to enter a new phase of the "math wars." Since the late 1980s, the debate over how best to teach mathematics to schoolchildren has raged worldwide among educators, politicians, and parents. The stakes are high. To operate effectively in a global, twenty-first-century economy and polity, the United states must provide an education in mathematics that is both excellent and equitable.
In this volume, four scholars at the Washington School Research Center (WSRC) at Seattle Pacific University present original research drawn from statistical studies of state educational data and from thousands of classroom observations carried out by The BERC Group. They assess the current state of math education and review its history and development. The authors also provide a dispassionate review of the extensive international, national, and state literature.
The in-depth observational research in Winning the Math Wars confirms that the real issue is neither the approach to teaching--traditional or reform--nor the type of curriculum. If America's goal of educational equity and excellence is to be achieved, then math teachers everywhere must be fully supported in developing the specific skills that are ideal for educating all students. The authors discussion focus on four principles for improving math teaching and learning: fidelity to reform efforts by all involved; an emphasis on instruction and instructional tools; the critical nature of mathematical knowledge; and the need for transformational change.
Winning the Math Wars is an important book for policy makers, school leaders, practitioners of mathematics education, parents, and anyone who wants to make sense of the "math wars."
