"Може да се каже, че на изкуствения интелект едновременно му проработи късметът и същевременно забележимо не му провървя. С разработването му се занимаваха изключителни мислители, учени, алгоритмисти, програмисти. Въпреки това, използването на термина изкуствен интелект през цялото време пораждаше надежди, които за пореден път се оказваха илюзорни. Книгата на Игор Шнуренко е може би първата книга на руски език, в която авторът успява да избегне възторжените очаквания и паническите страхове. Това е завладяващ разказ за историята и текущото състояние на изследванията и разработките в областта на изкуствения интелект.& ... |

Бумът в разработките на изкуствения интелект, роботиката, нанотехнологиите, генетиката, виртуалната реалност, успехите в борбата със стареенето убедиха значителна част от глобалния елит, че визиите и философията на трансхуманистите са единствената успешна идеология, чрез която можем да ... |
