The Future of the Mind, Michio Kaku

The Future of the Mind: The scientific quest to understand, enhance, and empower the mind by Michio Kaku was a book that was mentioned in Science Daily.

Completed: 2/18/2020
Recommendation: Mild Recommendation
Recommended By:  Science Daily

Words for which I sought help:

quartic -- involving the fourth and no higher power of an unknown quantity or variable

Review:

This book had a lot of material I had seen before and misses some of the more recent analysis on artificial intelligence.  This is a good overview, however, and it brings something to the game by offering a testable definition of consciousness.  I really don't like the idea of building artificial intelligence and then testing it to see what happens because it is so hard to contain.
