Reviews
Physicist and science writer Waldrop has written an extensive review of the past, present, and future of artificial intelligence. His chronological organization stands in contrast to the personal journalism of Grant Fjermedal's Tomorrow Makers ( LJ 2/1/87). Waldrop describes the work of early theorists such as Von Neumann, Newall, and Simon. He thoroughly explains the contributions of David Marr's vision theory. He includes an up-to-date section on commercially available expert systems, along with discussions of military uses of AI, robots, and other topics of interest. The only area regrettably not covered is speech recognition. Recommended for general and academic collections. Mary Greene Havener, MIT Lincoln Lab. Lib., Lexington, Mass.

Hardcover. First edition. First printing [stated]. [6], 280 p. Illustrations. Occasional footnotes. References. Additional Reading. Index. The first book to truly focus on the impact and implications--human, economic, geopolitical, ethical--of the remarkable endeavors towards Artificial Intelligence. Scientists are starting to simulate human vision and conversation, design computer/robots to supervise ever-more sophisticated industrial and communications systems and probe the essential processes of human thought. Artificial intelligence, the art of designing machines that are both omniscient and sensible, has become the crowning challenge of today's information explosion. This book is the first to focus on the implications, human, economic, scientific, ethical, of this remarkable endeavor. Library Journal physicist and science writer Waldrop has written an extensive review of the past, present, and future of artificial intelligence. Waldrop describes the work of early theorists such as Von Neumann, Newall, and Simon. He thoroughly explains the contributions of David Marr'svision theory. He includes an up-to-date section on commercially available expert systems. Very good in good dust jacket. Publisher's press release laid in. DJ has some wear and discoloration.
