<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Dr. Jackson discusses how an AI system using a language of thought based on the unconstrained syntax of a natural language could achieve "higher-level mentalities" of human intelligence, with advanced forms of learning and reasoning, imagination, and more. 2019 edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>How can human-level artificial intelligence be achieved? What are the potential consequences? This book describes a research approach toward achieving human-level AI, combining a doctoral thesis and research papers by the author.<br>The research approach, called TalaMind, involves developing an AI system that uses a 'natural language of thought' based on the unconstrained syntax of a language such as English; designing the system as a collection of concepts that can create and modify concepts to behave intelligently in an environment; and using methods from cognitive linguistics for multiple levels of mental representation. Proposing a design-inspection alternative to the Turing Test, these pages discuss 'higher-level mentalities' of human intelligence, which include natural language understanding, higher-level forms of learning and reasoning, imagination, and consciousness. Dr. Jackson gives a comprehensive review of other research, addresses theoretical objections to the proposed approach and to achieving human-level AI in principle, and describes a prototype system that illustrates the potential of the approach.<br>This book discusses economic risks and benefits of AI, considers how to ensure that human-level AI and superintelligence will be beneficial for humanity, and gives reasons why human-level AI may be necessary for humanity's survival and prosperity.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Philip C. Jackson, Jr. has a Ph.D. for a thesis on artificial intelligence, and has extensive experience in software design and development. He is the founder of TalaMind LLC, conducting research toward human-level artificial intelligence.
