The great majority of books on artificial intelligence are written by
AI experts who understandably focus on its achievements and potential
transformative effects on society. In contrast, AI vs Humans is
written by two psychologists (Michael and Christine Eysenck) whose
perspective on AI (including robotics) is based on their knowledge and
understanding of human cognition. This book evaluates the strengths
and limitations of people and AI. The authors’ expertise equips them
well to consider this by seeing how well (or badly) AI compares to
human intelligence. They accept that AI matches or exceeds human
ability in many spheres such as mathematical calculations, complex
games (e.g., chess, Go, and poker), diagnosis from medical images, and
robotic surgery. However, the human tendency to anthropomorphise has
led many people to claim mistakenly that AI systems can think, infer,
reason, and understand while engaging in information processing. In
fact, such systems lack all those cognitive skills and are also
deficient in the quintessentially human abilities of flexibility of
thinking and general intelligence. At a time when human commitment to
AI appears unstoppable, this up-to-date book advocates a symbiotic and
co-operative relationship between humans and AI. It will be essential
reading for anyone interested in AI and human cognition.
