「2029年，AI將通過圖靈測試，聽得懂笑話、理解愛的機器人將會出現」 「2045年，人類將進入技術奇點，電腦可以與人腦完美結合」 這是本書作者雷‧庫茲威爾（Ray Kurzweil）曾經做出的大膽預測，如今將要實現。他曾擔任Google的工程總監，目前為Google的首席研究員和AI遠見家，是當今最具影響力的發明家、思想家、未來學家、AI的先驅研究者。他在這本書中，將揭露「人類－機器」文明史上最重要的計畫，也就是運用「逆向工程」來還原人腦的運作模式，利用模擬人類的大腦運作，來實現人工智慧（AI）。AI的概念，大約起於1940年代，圖靈（Alan Turing）、馮諾曼（John von Neumann）等人進行的思考實驗與實作……直到今天，AI已經進入人們的生活，帶來了翻天覆地的影響。然而，電腦能夠變得如此聰明，要歸功於幾十年來腦科學、計算能力的大幅進步。作者估計，人腦的新皮質中大約有3億個模式辨識器（pattern recognizer），它們是同步運作的，可以處理從低概念層級的例如視覺、聽覺的基本輸入，到高概念層級的判斷、預測、表達等等；而各個神經元之間有一千兆個連結，使得「學習」成為可能。重點是，人腦的新皮質是一種層級式的結構，而AI的模型也依此而建立。書中將重點介紹「思維模式辨識理論」（Pattern Recognition Theory of Mind），據以建立模擬人腦的模型，因此，電腦能夠有學習能力、具有意識，能夠理解情感、表達情感，並能懂得雙關語、幽默和嫉妒。融合了神經科學研究以及指數型成長的計算能力，這本書解釋了AI的基本原理與實作，以及未來的發展，我們將會造出比人類更聰明的機器，並且幫助解決人類社會的重要問題。★★★本書為《人工智慧的未來》改版★★★相關報導：作者庫茲威爾於TED的演講（中文字幕）https://www.ted.com/talks/ray_kurzweil_get_ready_for_hybrid_thinking?subtitle=zh-tw Google賦予機器人「意識」的專家：聽得懂笑話、理解愛的機器人會在2029年出現（《WIRED》訪問作者庫茲威爾）http://techorange.com/2013/12/06/how-ray-kurzweil-help-google-make-the

NOW IN PAPERBACK! Two brothers fight to reunite amidst the turmoil of the Syrian War. Since the passing of their father, Omar has tried--and in his little brother Sufyan's eyes, failed--to be the man of his family of Syrian refugees. As Omar waits in line for rations, longing for the books he left behind when his family fled their home, Sufyan explores more nontraditional methods to provide for his family. Ignoring his brother's warnings, Sufyan gets more and more involved with a group that provides him with big rewards for doing seemingly inconsequential tasks. When the group abruptly gets more intense--taking Sufyan and other boys away from their families, teaching them how to shoot guns--Sufyan realizes his brother is right. But is it too late for Sufyan to get out of this? It's left to the bookish Omar to rescue his brother and reunite his family. He will have to take charge and be brave in ways he has never dared to before. P R A I S E "Poignant." --Foreword "Hauntingly hopeful."
