Author: Hubert L. Dreyfus

📘 Mind Over Machine by Hubert L. Dreyfus

In this influential book, Hubert Dreyfus argues that human intuition and perception are essential phenomena of consciousness, and therefore cannot be replicated by computers. He emphasizes that the current research program in artificial intelligence is fatally flawed and that to achieve human-like intelligence, one must have a human-like being in the world and a society more or less like ours. This practical problem in implementing artificial intelligence algorithms explains the author's stance. The book is a classic in the field of computer science and artificial intelligence.
