“All computer code is the result of human creativity — the written code itself can never be a source of creativity itself…AI will never be creative or have understanding. Machines may mimic certain other human traits but will never duplicate them…AI does not understand; and, more profoundly, AI will never understand understanding.” – Robert J. Marks
AI has certainly come of age in the past two years. Still, there is much hype, ignorance, and misunderstanding about this “new,” not-so-new tech. Robert J. Marks, who has spent over three decades in the field, wrote Non-Computable You, which is the best book on AI that I have come across.
From AI’s history, to what it can and cannot do — and never do — and what it means for all of us, this is one entertaining and informative volume. A perfect guide to this AI-infused world we live in.
