These Strange New Minds: How AI Learned to Talk and What It Means

內容簡介

內容簡介 一本引人入勝、發人深省且全景式的檢視，探討我們所處的位置、為何走到這裡以及這一切的意義。這是對我們時代最重要技術的精彩指南。——穆斯塔法·蘇萊曼（Mustafa Suleyman），微軟AI執行長兼DeepMind聯合創始人數位科技的驚人進步，帶給我們一波極具人類特質的人工智慧（AI）系統。像ChatGPT、Claude和Gemini這樣的聊天機器人，將全世界專家的知識觸手可及，並能生成有意義的句子、方程式和電腦程式碼。這項新技術的步伐將改變我們的經濟，挑戰民主體制，並以無法預測的方式重塑社會。我們可以預期這些AI系統很快將能為用戶做出自主決策，對我們的生活帶來翻天覆地的影響。理解這些技術的運作方式至關重要。AI系統能否「思考」、「知道」和「理解」？它們是否可能操控或欺騙你？如果是，那它們可能讓你做出什麼行為？它們最終代表誰的利益？它們何時能超越文字，在現實世界中自主行動？為了回答這些問題，神經科學家兼AI研究員克里斯多福·桑默菲爾德（Christopher Summerfield）深入解釋了這些奇異新型智能的運作原理。他梳理了AI的進化歷程，從17世紀對思考機器的最初構想到如今龐大的深度神經網路。本書提供了對這項激進新技術最易於理解、最新且最權威的探索。最終，透過理解AI神秘的內部運作，我們可以開始應對這個時代的核心存在性問題：我們是否能期待一個科技烏托邦，還是正在將自己從歷史中抹去？「作為計算神經科學和AI社會影響領域的頂尖專家，克里斯多福·桑默菲爾德正處於探索這些令人驚異的機器意義與影響的最佳位置。它們如此像我們，又如此不同。」——布萊恩·克里斯蒂安（Brian Christian），《Algorithms to Live by》合著者「AI專家克里斯·桑默菲爾德帶我們深入了解這項驚人的新技術，並幫助我們理解它引發的議題。無論你對大規模語言模型（LLMs）感到擔憂、興奮，還是無動於衷，在做出決定之前，你都應該閱讀克里斯的書。」——麥克·伍爾里奇（Mike Woolridge），《The Road to Conscious Machines》作者‘An engaging, insightful and panoramic survey of where we are, why we got here and what it means. A brilliant guide to the most important technology of our times’ Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI & Cofounder of DeepMindStunning advances in digital technology have given us a new wave of disarmingly human-like AI systems. Chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini put the knowledge of all the world’s experts at our fingertips, and can generate meaningful sentences, equations and computer code. The march of this new technology is set to upturn our economies, challenge our democracies, and refashion society in unpredictable ways. We can expect these AI systems to soon be making autonomous decisions on the user’s behalf, with transformative impact on everything we do. It is vital we understand how they work. Can AI systems ‘think’, ‘know’ and ‘understand’? Could they manipulate or deceive you, and if so, what might they make you do? Whose interests do they ultimately represent? And when will they be able to move beyond words and take actions for themselves in the real world?To answer these questions, neuroscientist and AI researcher Christopher Summerfield explains how these strange new minds work. He charts the evolution of AI, from the earliest inklings about thinking machines in the seventeenth century to today’s gargantuan deep neural networks. The resulting book is the most accessible, up-to-date and authoritative exploration of this radical new technology. Ultimately, armed with an understanding of AI’s mysterious inner workings, we can begin to grapple with the existential question of our age: can we look forward to a technological utopia, or are we in the process of writing ourselves out of history?‘As a leading authority in both computational neuroscience and the social impacts of AI, Christopher Summerfield is perfectly situated to explore the meaning and implications of these machines that are so uncannily like – and unlike – ourselves’ Brian Christian, co-author of Algorithms to Live by‘AI expert Chris Summerfield takes us on a tour of this astonishing new technology, and helps us to understand the issues it raises. You might choose to be alarmed, excited, or indifferent to LLMs, but you should read Chris’s book before you decide’ Mike Woolridge, author of The Road to Conscious Machines
