Artificial Intelligence: An Illustrated History
From Medieval Robots to Neural Networks
Artificial Intelligence: An Illustrated History takes readers on a vast journey through the world of artificial intelligence, as found in computing, medicine, popular culture, mythology and more. This illustrated, chronological collection includes topics ranging from medieval robots and legends of ancient golems to advanced computing approaches involving artificial neural networks that learn and improve their performance, often with little or no task-specific programming and rules.
Award-winning author Clifford Pickover provides an entertaining and informative look at where artificial intelligence began, how it's developed, where it's going, and how AI has been portrayed in popular culture.
