'if AI is outside your field, or you know something of the subject and would like to know more then Artificial Intelligence: The Basics is a brilliant primer.' - Nick Smith, Engineering and Technology Magazine November 2011 Artificial Intelligence: The Basics is a concise and cutting-edge introduction to the fast moving world of AI. The author Kevin Warwick, a pioneer in the field, examines issues of what it means to be man or machine and looks at advances in robotics which have blurred the boundaries. Topics covered include: how intelligence can be defined whether machines can 'think' sensory input in machine systems the nature of consciousness the controversial culturing of human neurons. Exploring issues at the heart of the subject, this book is suitable for anyone interested in AI, and provides an illuminating and accessible introduction to this fascinating subject.

Artificial Intelligence: The Basics

Due to the rapid increase in readily available computing power, a corre sponding increase in the complexity of problems being tackled has occurred in the field of systems as a whole. A plethora of new methods which can be used on the problems has also arisen with a constant desire to deal with more and more difficult applications. Unfortunately by increasing the ac curacy in models employed along with the use of appropriate algorithms with related features, the resultant necessary computations can often be of very high dimension. This brings with it a whole new breed of problem which has come to be known as "The Curse of Dimensionality" . The expression "Curse of Dimensionality" can be in fact traced back to Richard Bellman in the 1960's. However, it is only in the last few years that it has taken on a widespread practical significance although the term di mensionality does not have a unique precise meaning and is being used in a slightly different way in the context of algorithmic and stochastic complex ity theory or in every day engineering. In principle the dimensionality of a problem depends on three factors: on the engineering system (subject), on the concrete task to be solved and on the available resources. A system is of high dimension if it contains a lot of elements/variables and/or the rela tionship/connection between the elements/variables is complicated.

This present book includes a set of selected revised and extended versions of the best papers presented at the 11th International Joint Conference on Computational Intelligence (IJCCI 2019) – held in Vienna, Austria, from 17 to 19 September 2019. The authors focus on three outstanding fields of Computational Intelligence through the selected panel, namely Evolutionary Computation, Fuzzy Computation and Neural Computation. Besides presenting the recent advances of the selected areas, the book aims to aggregate new and innovative solutions for confirmed researchers and, on the other hand, to provide a source of information and/or inspiration for young interested researchers or learners in the ever-expanding and current filed of Computational Intelligence. It constitutes a precious provision of knowledge for individual researchers as well as represents a valuable sustenance for collective use in academic libraries (of universities and engineering schools) relating innovative techniques in various fields of applications.

Trees are an important part of our planet. But what on earth are they all about? Trees are not only one of the oldest living species on earth but they are also one of the most important. Essential for life and providing us with food, oxygen and shelter, without trees our planet would be a very different place. Discover all you need to know about these incredible plants and their place in our world in this fascinating book filled with fun experiments, investigations and hands-on tasks. Find out how trees are made and how they grow so tall. Then create a tree hotel and see what wildlife comes to stay! This brilliant information book features a mixture of explore, investigate and create pages which encourage children to learn about the natural world in an engaging, hands-on way.

The Quest for Intelligence

In a provocative autobiography, a cybernetic pioneer explains how he has deliberately crossed over a perilous threshold to take the first steps toward becoming a cyborg by upgrading his own body by incorporating high-tech implants that connected to his central nervous system. Reprint.

I, Cyborg

While horror films and science fiction have repeatedly warned of robots running amok, Kevin Warwick takes the threats out of the realm of fiction and into the real world, truly giving us something to worry about. Meeting skeptics head on, Warwick goes beyond his penetrating attacks on their assumptions and prejudices about what should be considered as intelligence to reveal what he has already achieved: building robots that communicate in their own language, share experience, teach each other lessons, and behave as they wish with regard to human beings. Now available for the first time in America, March of the Machines is part history of robotics, part futurism. It surveys the substantial advances made in artificial intelligence over the past century while looking ahead to an increasingly uneasy relationship between humans and machines.

"In fact, all of this is more than just a theoretical possibility. Here, Kevin Warwick reveals how he has taken the first practical steps on this fascinating path, using himself as a guinea pig receiving, by surgical operation, technological implants connected to his central nervous system."--BOOK JACKET.

Can you tell the difference between talking to a human and talking to a machine? Or, is it possible to create a machine which is able to converse like a human? In fact, what is it that even makes us human? Turing's Imitation Game, commonly known as the Turing Test, is fundamental to the science of artificial intelligence. Involving an interrogator conversing with hidden identities, both human and machine, the test strikes at the heart of any questions about the capacity of machines to behave as humans. While this subject area has shifted dramatically in the last few years, this book offers an up-to-date assessment of Turing's Imitation Game, its history, context and implications, all illustrated with practical Turing tests. The contemporary relevance of this topic and the strong emphasis on example transcripts makes this book an ideal companion for undergraduate courses in artificial intelligence, engineering or computer science.
