This collection of essays looks into the philosophical arguments behind artificial intelligence and whether one can equate such concepts as intelligence, understanding and thinking to computers. Classic arguments, such as the Chinese room are discussed as well as modern arguments, such as if one should differentiate between the connectionist computers and the digital computers. There is an introduction written by the editor, who is a leading name in artificial intelligence and upholds the view that, given time, computers will be able to match humans in intelligence.

Review:
A collection of classic articles from the field of artificial intelligence (AI), The Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence would be a good complement to an introductory textbook on AI fundamentals. The back cover of the book states that the material is intended for the university student or general reader, but don't be fooled. Unless you are a student in a supportive class setting or a general reader who happens to have a degree in engineering, you are likely to find the content difficult. The first chapter, for example, assumes knowledge of calculus. However, if you have the right preparation, you'll be treated to fifteen important papers in AI--including Alan Turing's Computing Machinery and Intelligence article, which proposed the now well-known Turing test for determining whether a machine is intelligent.
From the Back Cover:
This volume contains classical and contemporary essays which explore the philosophical foundations of artificial intelligence and cognitive science. They illustrate objections raised by critics outside the field, and radical controversies within it.
