Artificial Intelligence – A Modern Approach

     Looking through this book I found that there were a lot of similar areas to ‘A Guide to Intelligent Systems’. However this book also focuses more on the links and differences between humans and AI; and what qualities a machine needs to be considered artificial intelligence. There is a lot of debate about this and the necessary characteristics for a machine to be intelligent enough to be human like. I have selected the most important areas from this book:

                         A lot of the questions relate back to if it is even possible for a machine to be as intelligent as a human; which therefore means detecting what it is that makes us human and not just a brain in a body. There are a lot of biased answers to the questions that doesn’t yet have a definitive answer, but with all the new technology that is around today I think we’re closer than ever to finding out.
