Synopsis

Artificial intelligence quickly changed from a theory to a practical power - it spreads through every part of modern life. As people go from specific uses to more general kinds of intelligence, they must face a main change. This change involves what machines do and how people think about intelligence. The book, Cognitive AI - From Deep Learning to Artificial General Intelligence, looks at that change.

This writing serves a wide, serious group of people - it is for graduate students and researchers in artificial intelligence and cognitive science. Educators along with industry workers also read this to get a better grasp of the path from current AI systems to future cognitive architectures. We do not just list technologies. We deal with the concepts, morals, technical issues as well as societal problems that sit at the core of creating machines that think.

The chapters lay out this story bit by bit; they start with basic learning systems. They move to cognitive modeling and designs. The book finishes with important questions about governance, combining fields along with how people will work in the future. Throughout the text, the reader learns about current subjects. Some of these are large language models, explaining how systems work, reasoning with symbols plus networks, the safety of general artificial intelligence, and people working with machines.

I appreciate the researchers, collaborators along with students who inspired this work. The growing group of thinkers also recognizes that making intelligent systems requires scientific exactness and philosophical thought. My hope is that this book guides plus starts talks for anyone who wants AI to develop responsibly and creatively.
