創智慧: 理解人腦運作, 打造智慧機器

內容簡介

內容簡介 From the inventor of the PalmPilot comes a new and compelling theory of intelligence, brain function, and the future of intelligent machinesJeff Hawkins, the man who created the PalmPilot, Treo smart phone, and other handheld devices, has reshaped our relationship to computers. Now he stands ready to revolutionize both neuroscience and computing in one stroke, with a new understanding of intelligence itself.Hawkins develops a powerful theory of how the human brain works, explaining why computers are not intelligent and how, based on this new theory, we can finally build intelligent machines.The brain is not a computer, but a memory system that stores experiences in a way that reflects the true structure of the world, remembering sequences of events and their nested relationships and making predictions based on those memories. It is this memory-prediction system that forms the basis of intelligence, perception, creativity, and even consciousness.In an engaging style that will captivate audiences from the merely curious to the professional scientist, Hawkins shows how a clear understanding of how the brain works will make it possible for us to build intelligent machines, in silicon, that will exceed our human ability in surprising ways.Written with acclaimed science writer Sandra Blakeslee, On Intelligence promises to completely transfigure the possibilities of the technology age. It is a landmark book in its scope and clarity.

各界推薦

各界推薦 電腦將超越人腦，成為地球的主宰嗎？《駭客任務》、《機械公敵》等電影表露了現代人對電腦愛恨交織的情感。掌上型電腦PalmPilot發明人Jeff Hawkins基於對人腦與電腦的熱愛與深刻理解，在本書中試圖揭露「智能」為何物，並大膽預測人工智能的未來。 他從神經科學的角度，將人腦視為一個運用感官、時空知覺，並由記憶來驅動的系統，任何複雜高階的電腦晶片都相形失色；他並指出智能的關鍵在於對未來的預測能力，此乃奠基於五感不斷蒐集內化的資訊，這是人工智能難以突破的重大關卡，人腦想創造出超越自身的智能載體恐怕是遙遙無期。此外，在釐清當前電腦的限制之餘，Hawkins也開創了可供未來設計人工智能參考的新穎方案。
