商品描述
The question driving artificial intelligence (AI) research has shifted. No longer do we ask whether machines can be intelligent, but whether they can match us, or surpass us entirely. And with that question returns an older, deeper fear: the fear of being surpassed.
superhuman (adj.) That which transcends the possibilities and limits of human nature.
transcend (v.) To exceed or go beyond the limits of. To surpass.
After The Shortcut and Machina Sapiens, this is the third episode in a compelling series of books on the new era of thinking machines by Nello Cristianini. AI is now reaching human performance levels in many of the cognitive tasks in which we excel. But what will happen next? Are we entering an era in which machines will be able to understand things that are incomprehensible to us?
No intelligence is unlimited, not even ours, so we ask ourselves: what lies beyond human limits? But while we invest huge amounts of money in building a machine capable of competing with us, we refuse to accept that this is possible. We both desire and fear that encounter.
In this new, visionary book, we will see AI successfully pass extremely difficult tests, right up to the final test, in which they will tackle areas that are impenetrable even for our best experts. Will we be able to understand what lies beyond the limits of our intelligence?
商品描述(中文翻譯)
推動人工智慧（AI）研究的問題已經改變。我們不再問機器是否能夠具備智慧，而是問它們能否匹敵我們，甚至徹底超越我們。隨著這個問題浮現，一種更古老、更深層的恐懼也再次回來：被超越的恐懼。
superhuman（形容詞）超人類的：超越人類本質之可能性與界限的事物。
transcend（動詞）超越或跨越某事物的界限；勝過。
繼《The Shortcut》和《Machina Sapiens》之後，本書是 Nello Cristianini 探討思考機器新時代、引人入勝的系列作品中的第三部。如今，AI 在許多我們所擅長的認知任務上，已經達到人類的表現水準。但接下來會發生什麼事？我們是否正步入一個時代：機器將能夠理解那些對我們而言無法理解的事物？
沒有任何智慧是無限的，即使是我們的智慧也不例外，因此我們不禁要問自己：人類極限之外究竟存在著什麼？然而，當我們投入鉅額資金，打造能夠與我們競爭的機器時，卻又拒絕接受這件事是可能的。我們既渴望又害怕那場相遇。
在這本嶄新且充滿遠見的著作中，我們將看見 AI 成功通過極其困難的測試，一路來到最終測試；在這項測試中，AI 將挑戰那些即使是我們最頂尖的專家也無法 проник透的領域。我們是否能夠理解人類智慧極限之外究竟存在著什麼？
作者簡介
Nello Cristianini has been an influential researcher in the field of machine learning and AI for over 20 years. He is Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bath, before that he has worked at the University of Bristol, the University of California (Davis), the University of London (Royal Holloway). For his work in machine learning, he has been a past recipient of the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award, and of the ERC Advanced Grant. Cristianini has been the co-author of influential books in machine learning, as well as dozens of academic articles, published in journals that range from AI to the philosophy of science, from the digital humanities to natural language processing, and from sociology to biology. In 2017, he delivered the annual STOA lecture at the European Parliament on the topic of the social impact of AI, a theme that he is still actively investigating. Cristianini has a degree in Physics from the University of Trieste, an MSc in Computational Intelligence from the University of London, and a PhD from the University of Bristol.
