内容介绍

《智能简史》既有 "智人"（Sapiens）、"行为"（Behave）和 "超智能"（Superintelligence），又有独创性，

为我们理解神经科学和人工智能提供了一种范式转变。人工智能企业家马克斯-贝内特记录了人类智能进化过程中的五次 "突破"，

并揭示了过去的大脑能为我们未来的人工智能提供哪些启示。

在过去十年中，长期以来一直属于科幻小说领域的人工智能能力首次成为了我们的现实。现在，人工智能已经能够制作原创艺术品、

识别图片中的肿瘤，甚至能够为我们的汽车导航。然而，现代人工智能系统所能实现的目标仍然存在巨大差距--事实上，

人类大脑仍然可以轻松完成人工智能系统无法复制的智力壮举。为什么人工智能能在国际象棋上击败大师，却不能有效地装载洗碗机？

正如人工智能企业家马克斯-贝内特（Max Bennett）令人信服地指出的那样，要找到答案，就必须深入研究人类大脑十亿年的进化史；在这段历史中，

充满了无数的半途而废、灾难和聪明的创新。我们的大脑不仅有故事要讲，人工智能的未来可能也取决于它。

现在，在《智能简史》一书中，贝内特弥合了神经科学与人工智能之间的鸿沟，讲述了大脑的进化史，

揭示了理解大脑进化史如何有助于塑造下一代人工智能突破。贝内特采用全新的视角，在神经科学领域众多*尖学者的支持下，

将这段浩瀚的历史整合到一个平易近人的新框架中，确定了标志着大脑*重要的进化飞跃的 "五大突破"。每一项突破都为人类智力的*大奥秘带来了新的启示。

《智能简史》中包含了人工智能发展的迷人推论，显示了当前人工智能系统在哪些方面已经与我们的大脑相匹配或超越，以及人工智能系统在哪些方面仍有不足。

简而言之，在人工智能系统成功复制我们大脑漫长历程的每一部分之前，人工智能系统将无法展现出与人类类似的智能。

班尼特的著作得到了当今该领域许多*尖神经科学家的认可和称赞，他将最相关的科学知识和前沿研究综合成一个通俗易懂、引人入胜的进化故事。

《智力简史》以其广阔的视野和惊人的洞察力证明，了解我们大脑的历史弧线可以开启成功驾驭未来科技的工具。

Equal parts Sapiens, Behave, and Superintelligence, but wholly original in scope, A Brief History of Intelligence offers a paradigm shift 

for how we understand neuroscience and AI. Artificial intelligence entrepreneur Max Bennett chronicles the five “breakthroughs” 

in the evolution of human intelligence and reveals what brains of the past can tell us about the AI of tomorrow. 

In the last decade, capabilities of artificial intelligence that had long been the realm of science fiction have, for the first time, become our reality. 

AI is now able to produce original art, identify tumors in pictures, and even steer our cars. And yet, large gaps remain in what modern AI 

systems can achieve—indeed, human brains still easily perform intellectual feats that we can’t replicate in AI systems. 

How is it possible that AI can beat a grandmaster at chess but can’t effectively load a dishwasher? As AI entrepreneur Max Bennett 

compellingly argues, finding the answer requires diving into the billion-year history of how the human brain evolved; 

a history filled with countless half-starts, calamities, and clever innovations. Not only do our brains have a story to tell—the future of AI may 

depend on it.

Now, in A Brief History of Intelligence, Bennett bridges the gap between neuroscience and AI to tell the brain’s 

evolutionary story, revealing how understanding that story can help shape the next generation of AI breakthroughs. 

Deploying a fresh perspective and working with the support of many top minds in neuroscience, Bennett consolidates this immense 

history into an approachable new framework, identifying the “Five Breakthroughs” that mark the brain’s most important 

evolutionary leaps forward. Each breakthrough brings new insight into the biggest mysteries of human intelligence. 

Containing fascinating corollaries to developments in AI, A Brief History of Intelligence shows where current AI systems have matched or 

surpassed our brains, as well as where AI systems still fall short. Simply put, until AI systems successfully replicate each part 

of our brain’s long journey, AI systems will fail to exhibit human-like intelligence.

Endorsed and lauded by many of the top neuroscientists in the field today, Bennett’s work synthesizes the most relevant 

scientific knowledge and cutting-edge research into an easy-to-understand and riveting evolutionary story. With sweeping scope 

and stunning insights, A Brief History of Intelligence proves that understanding the arc of our brain’s history can unlock the tools for 

successfully navigating our technological future.
