Understanding Artificial Minds through Human Minds: The Psychology of Artificial Intelligence provides an accessible introduction into artificial intelligence through the lens of psychology.What are the similarities and differences between concepts known in psychology with regards to the brain, mind and behaviour, and how do they compare with their computational counterparts? With many rapid developments it becomes easy to lose sight of the very essentials of artificial intelligence. Beginning with an introduction to the relationship between AI and human minds, this popular science book goes on to discuss complex issues, including how humans and AI think, learn, remember, and use language. It doesn't shy away from complicated issues of human and AI collaboration or ethics, and provides great insight into the future of AI and applications for our society.Answering all the questions you've been too afraid to ask, Understanding Artificial Minds through Human Minds is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand more about the greatest technological advancement of a generation, and the impact for human psychology.

Recensioner i media

'If you are looking for a book which will get you writing AI code or building an AI mind yourself then this is not the book for you. However if you want to understand how an AI mind differs from a human mind in terms of what it can do, how it does it and what it is capable of then this book is spot on.'-- Kevin Warwick is Emeritus Professor at Coventry and Reading Universities, UK'This book explains the tight relationship between AI and cognitive psychology since the beginning of AI 70 years ago. Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson have had a gift for explaining science to the people. Ray Kurtzweil and Yuval Noah Harari have been helping the public understand the past and future of AI. Max Louwerse has written a very engaging and readable book for the public to understand how psychological science can explain many of the mysteries of AI.'-- Art Graesser is a professor in the Department of Psychology and the Institute of Intelligent Systems at the University of Memphis, USA and Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Education at the University of Oxford, UK'In his latest book, Max Louwerse has masterfully bridged the worlds of psychology and artificial intelligence at an insightful and thought-provoking level. Drawing on his deep expertise and interdisciplinary approach, he unravels the complexities of human cognition while exploring how these principles can inform the development of AI systems. This book not only offers a compelling narrative for those in academia but also serves as an accessible and engaging text for anyone curious about the profound interplay between the mind and machines.'-- Emile Aarts is Professor of Computer Science at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands
