「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
