Two leaders in the field offer a compelling analysis of the current state of the art and reveal the steps we must take to achieve a robust artificial intelligence that can make our lives better.“Finally, a book that tells us what AI is, what AI is not, and what AI could become if only we are ambitious and creative enough.” —Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and author of Deep Thinking Despite the hype surrounding AI, creating an intelligence that rivals or exceeds human levels is far more complicated than we have been led to believe. Professors Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis have spent their careers at the forefront of AI research and have witnessed some of the greatest milestones in the field, but they argue that a computer beating a human in Jeopardy! does not signal that we are on the doorstep of fully autonomous cars or superintelligent machines. The achievements in the field thus far have occurred in closed systems with fixed sets of rules, and these approaches are too narrow to achieve genuine intelligence.The real world, in contrast, is wildly complex and open-ended. How can we bridge this gap? What will the consequences be when we do? Taking inspiration from the human mind, Marcus and Davis explain what we need to advance AI to the next level, and suggest that if we are wise along the way, we won't need to worry about a future of machine overlords. If we focus on endowing machines with common sense and deep understanding, rather than simply focusing on statistical analysis and gatherine ever larger collections of data, we will be able to create an AI we can trust—in our homes, our cars, and our doctors' offices. Rebooting AI provides a lucid, clear-eyed assessment of the current science and offers an inspiring vision of how a new generation of AI can make our lives better.

A 'kluge' is an engineering term for a makeshift solution, an inelegant construction that somehow works. This is Gary Marcus's analogy for the way the human mind has evolved. Arguing against a whole tradition that praises our human minds as the most perfect result of evolution, Marcus shows how imperfect and ill-adapted our brains really are. They have had to adapt from the environment of our early hominid origins to a complex world in which our penchant for short-term satisfactions is literally fatal. We are prone to rages, addictions and other habits that limit our capacity for rational action in every sphere, from food to politics. A breathtaking, witty and revolutionary book.

On the eve of his 40th birthday, Gary Marcus, a renowned scientist with no discernible musical talent, learns to play the guitar and investigates how anyone—of any age —can become musical. Do you have to be born musical to become musical? Do you have to start at the age of six? Using the tools of his day job as a cognitive psychologist, Gary Marcus becomes his own guinea pig as he takes up the guitar. In a powerful and incisive look at how both children and adults become musical, Guitar Zero traces Marcus’s journey, what he learned, and how anyone else can learn, too. A groundbreaking peek into the origins of music in the human brain, this musical journey is also an empowering tale of the mind’s enduring plasticity. Marcus investigates the most effective ways to train body and brain to learn to play an instrument, in a quest that takes him from Suzuki classes to guitar gods. From deliberate and efficient practicing techniques to finding the right music teacher, Marcus translates his own experience—as well as reflections from world-renowned musicians—into practical advice for anyone hoping to become musical, or to learn a new skill.Guitar Zero debunks the popular theory of an innate musical instinct while simultaneously challenging the idea that talent is only a myth. While standing the science of music on its head, Marcus brings new insight into humankind’s most basic question: what counts as a life well lived? Does one have to become the next Jimi Hendrix to make a passionate pursuit worthwhile, or can the journey itself bring the brain lasting satisfaction?For all those who have ever set out to play an instrument—or wish that they could—Guitar Zero is an inspiring and fascinating look at the pursuit of music, the mechanics of the mind, and the surprising rewards that come from following one’s dreams.

Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg y Jeff Bezos se disputan el lugar del hombre más rico del mundo desde hace años. Compañías como Meta, Google, Amazon han alcanzado un valor de mercado que supera el PIB de numerosos países y manejan los datos personales y oficiales de millones de ciudadanos, empresas y administraciones. Es una concentración de poder única en la historia que representa una amenaza para la democracia, pues les permite influir en la opinión pública y en los gobiernos con el único objetivo de promover sus intereses particulares.En este contundente manifiesto sobre la Inteligencia Artificial, Gary Marcus, uno de los críticos más respetados (y feroces) de Silicon Valley, demuestra que la irrupción de la IA generativa representa un significativo paso adelante en ese peligroso camino. Se trata de una tecnología poco fiable (como atestiguan sus frecuentes alucinaciones), que ha puesto al alcance de cualquiera (incluyendo organizaciones criminales y gobiernos tiránicos) la creación de propaganda, fake news y estafas, y que además pretende dejar sin trabajo a todos los creadores a los que previamente ha robado su obra para entrenarse. Sin embargo, sus desarrolladores pretenden eludir el debate público y la regulación democrática con el repetido vaticinio de maravillas futuras que nunca acaban de llegar, pero que les permiten inflar las cotizaciones de sus empresas.Para hacerles frente, Marcus propone una serie de sugerencias concretas que deberían guiar la regulación de la IA para garantizar que esté al servicio de la sociedad y no al contrario. Este libro es un manual de acción para ciudadanos de a pie: es posible presionar y actuar para que la tiranía de Silicon Valley no se convierta en realidad.¿Por qué leer este libro?Se incluye en la lista New Yorker''s Best Books 2024.Una breve pero rigurosa revisión de la situación de la IA en la actualidad, con una escritura atractiva y amena.Un manual de acción para ciudadanos de a pie: es posible presionar y actuar para que la tiranía de Silicon Valley no se convierta en realidad.En la tradición de Steal This Book de Abbie Hoffman y Common Sense de Thomas Paine.
