书籍简介

智能究竟是什么？人工智能的出现如何成为进化的自然结果？一个能够预测下一句单词的大型神经网络似乎能够构建一个具有通用智能的系统，这令一些人工智能研究人员感到震惊。然而，这与一些神经科学家长期以来持有的观点相符，他们认为大脑的进化正是为了预测未来——预测性大脑假说。

在《智能是什么？》一书中，布莱斯·阿格拉·阿尔卡斯 (Blaise Aguera y Arcas) 提出了预测不仅对智能和大脑至关重要，而且对生命本身也至关重要的观点，并探讨了其广泛的含义。这些含义包括对生命系统计算特性、智能的进化和社会起源、模型与现实的关系、熵与时间的本质、自由意志的意义、意识问题以及机器智能的伦理等问题的全新视角。本书汇集了计算机科学和机器学习、生物学、物理学和神经科学等多个领域的大量文献，描绘了一幅从分子到生物体、社会和人工智能的智能统一图景。

它还添加了作者、其研究团队和同事的新发现。《什么是智能？》一书融合了严谨的技术、对人工智能发展、自然科学（尤其是神经科学）以及哲学素养的深入理解和新知识，反驳了某些现代人工智能系统确实拥有智能、意识和自由意志的观点。

What intelligence really is, and how AI s emergence is a natural consequence of evolution. It has come as a shock to some AI researchers that a large neural net that predicts next words seems to produce a system with general intelligence. Yet this is consistent with a long-held view among some neuroscientists that the brain evolved precisely to predict the future the predictive brain hypothesis.

In What Is Intelligence?, Blaise Aguera y Arcas takes up this idea that prediction is fundamental not only to intelligence and the brain, but to life itself and explores the wide-ranging implications. These include radical new perspectives on the computational properties of living systems, the evolutionary and social origins of intelligence, the relationship between models and reality, entropy and the nature of time, the meaning of free will, the problem of consciousness, and the ethics of machine intelligence. The book offers a unified picture of intelligence from molecules to organisms, societies, and AI, drawing from a wide array of literature in many fields, including computer science and machine learning, biology, physics, and neuroscience.

It also adds recent and novel findings from the author, his research team, and colleagues. Combining technical rigor and deep up-to-the-minute knowledge about AI development, the natural sciences (especially neuroscience), and philosophical literacy, What Is Intelligence? argues quite against the grain that certain modern AI systems do indeed have a claim to intelligence, consciousness, and free will.
