Author Description

Is it possible to truly develop artificial intelligence? What does the Turing test reveal about artificial intelligence? What ethical issues are raised by artificial intelligence? What are some valuable applications of artificial intelligence? Answering these four questions is the crux of this collection of essays. Readers will experience a sequence of for-or-against viewpoints that answer these questions and related subtopics. Because readers are presented with a variety of fact-based opinions, this book can also be used for report-writing and research. Essay sources include The Economist, Russell C. Bjork, Art Fritzson, John P. Sullins III, Yaakov Menken, and Melissa Lafsky.
