Artificial intelligence. Pikover K.

This book talks about how humanity gradually, step by step went to the creation of artificial intelligence and how it became an integral part of our life. How did scientists, philosophers and writers of different eras imagine an artificial mind? What mechanisms did our ancestors create to facilitate the solution of mental problems, and what are the algorithms surpassed by ourselves today? How will our relationship with these new entities develop? What - or whom - we create: faithful assistants or potential enemies? What ethical problems are the use of artificial intelligence? The author does not give final answers to these questions, but explains what their importance is, and calls the reader to reflect on them.
