The Soul of the Machine. A Radical Turn Towards Human-Like Artificial Intelligence Systems

The authors of the study "Human + Machine" Paul Doherty and James Wilson dedicated their new book to the third stage of the evolution of human interaction with "smart" technologies. Currently, the key role in the development of artificial intelligence is played by humans. Machine learning occurs not as a result of analyzing a mass of data, not from the bottom up, but from the top down: a person imparts their experience to the machine and teaches it specific actions. This stage brings human qualities and abilities to the forefront – thinking, understanding, emotional response.

This book brings together stories of scientists, entrepreneurs, leaders, and organizations that are implementing humanized technologies into everyday practice, thereby partly changing the course of progress and the world as a whole. Humanity has long dreamed that the path to success is also a path of good. The authors seek to answer the question of what is needed for this.
