為什麼 AI 能擊敗西洋棋大師，卻很難像人類一樣俐落地把洗碗機裝好？A Brief History of Intelligence 從大腦長達十億年的演化歷程尋找答案。AI 創業家 Max Bennett 跨越神經科學與人工智慧兩大領域，將人類智能的形成整理為五次關鍵「突破」，說明大腦如何一步步發展出今日的認知能力。從古老生物的神經系統談到現代 AI，作者比較兩者在學習、判斷與解決問題上的異同，也指出現有 AI 已超越人腦與仍明顯不足之處。本書獲多位神經科學家肯定，以清楚易懂的架構整理前沿研究，從演化重新理解人類智能，也提供思考下一代 AI 發展的不同角度。Equal parts Sapiens, Behave, and Superintelligence, but wholly original in scope, A Brief History of Intelligence offers a paradigm shift for how we understand neuroscience and AI. Artificial intelligence entrepreneur Max Bennett chronicles the five "breakthroughs" in the evolution of human intelligence and reveals what brains of the past can tell us about the AI of tomorrow. In the last decade, capabilities of artificial intelligence that had long been the realm of science fiction have, for the first time, become our reality. AI is now able to produce original art, identify tumors in pictures, and even steer our cars. And yet, large gaps remain in what modern AI systems can achieve--indeed, human brains stil

Bridges the gap between AI and neuroscience by telling the story of how the brain came to be. 'I found this book amazing' Daniel Kahneman, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics and bestselling author of Thinking Fast & Slow The entirety of the human brain’s 4-billion-year story can be summarised as the culmination of five evolutionary breakthroughs, starting from the very first brains, all the way to the modern human brains. Each breakthrough emerged from new sets of brain modifications, and equipped animals with a new suite of intellectual faculties.These five breakthroughs are the organising map to this book, and they make up our itinerary for our adventure back in time. Each breakthrough also has fascinating corollaries to breakthroughs in AI. Indeed, there will be plenty of such surprises along the way.For instance: the innovation that enabled AI to beat humans in the game of Go – temporal difference reinforcement learning – was an innovation discovered by our fish ancestors o
