商品描述

Machine Dreaming and Consciousness is the first book to discuss the questions raised by the advent of machine dreaming. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems meeting criteria of primary and self-reflexive consciousness are often utilized to extend the human interface, creating waking experiences that resemble the human dream. Surprisingly, AI systems also easily meet all human-based operational criteria for dreaming. These “dreams” are far different from anthropomorphic dreaming, including such processes as fuzzy logic, liquid illogic, and integration instability, all processes that may be necessary in both biologic and artificial systems to extend creative capacity.

Today, multi-linear AI systems are being built to resemble the structural framework of the human central nervous system. The creation of the biologic framework of dreaming (emotions, associative memories, and visual imagery) is well within our technical capacity. AI dreams potentially portend the further development of consciousness in these systems. This focus on AI dreaming raises even larger questions. In many ways, dreaming defines our humanity. What is humanly special about the states of dreaming? And what are we losing when we limit our focus to its technical and biologic structure, and extend the capacity for dreaming into our artificial creations? Machine Dreaming and Consciousness provides thorough discussion of these issues for neuroscientists and other researchers investigating consciousness and cognition.

  • Addresses the function and role of dream-like processing in AI systems
  • Describes the functions of dreaming in the creative process of both humans and machines
  • Presents an alternative approach to the philosophy of machine consciousness
  • Provides thorough discussion of machine dreaming and consciousness for neuroscientists and other researchers investigating consciousness and cognition

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《機器夢境與意識》是第一本討論機器夢境所引發問題的書籍。人工智慧(AI)系統滿足了主要和自我反思意識的標準,常被用於擴展人類界面,創造出類似人類夢境的覺醒體驗。令人驚訝的是,AI系統也很容易滿足所有基於人類的夢境操作標準。這些「夢境」與人形夢境大不相同,包括模糊邏輯、流體非邏輯和整合不穩定等過程,這些過程在生物和人工系統中擴展創造能力可能是必要的。

如今,多線性AI系統正在建立,以模仿人類中樞神經系統的結構框架。創造夢境的生物學框架(情感、聯想記憶和視覺意象)已在我們的技術能力範圍內。AI夢境潛在地預示著這些系統意識的進一步發展。對AI夢境的關注引發了更大的問題。在許多方面,夢境定義了我們的人性。夢境的狀態在人類中有何特殊之處?當我們將焦點限制在其技術和生物結構上,並將夢境能力擴展到我們的人工創造物時,我們失去了什麼?《機器夢境與意識》為神經科學家和其他研究意識和認知的研究人員提供了這些問題的全面討論。

- 探討AI系統中夢境式處理的功能和作用
- 描述夢境在人類和機器創造過程中的功能
- 提出機器意識哲學的替代方法
- 為神經科學家和其他研究意識和認知的研究人員提供對機器夢境和意識的全面討論
