Beskrivning

This book shows how such a computational process functions, how great is its power and versatility, since it is possible to show how discoveries are made. In 1759, A. Smith realized that there must exist an additional powerful control mechanism behind Great Britain’s authority and government, explaining the extraordinary successes of Great Britain. He called this the Invisible Hand. Despite having used this term only 3 times, the idea evokes extreme scientific and political emotions to this day. If we apply a molecular model of computation, such as in in Adleman’s DNA computer, a computational model for the Invisible Hand can be built to show how it affects a society. It is a spontaneous, unconscious, distributed, noncontinuous computational process on the platform of minds of, e.g., people or ants. Knowing this mechanism, a future self-steering and self-optimization system for AI robot teams can be proposed, e.g., for construction sites and rescue operations.

Mer om författaren

Tadeusz Szuba is an associate professor at UPJP2 Univ. Cracow, Poland. He began research on AI in 1979 with his doctorate. Since 1986, he intensively utilizes modern computer graphics to visualize his AI research projects. This required acquiring a great deal of theoretical and practical experience in computer graphics. As a result, his teaching domain is animated 3D graphics, while he currently conducts research in the area of collective intelligence. In 2001, he published a world’s first monograph on Computational Collective Intelligence: Szuba T. Computational Collective Intelligence, Wiley & Sons NY, 2001. The presented monograph is therefore a continuation and aims to comprehensively present the problem of Adam Smith's Invisible Hand as the highest (in the sense of controlling power) form of collective intelligence.
