My book on Intelligence

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by intelligence. Not just artificial intelligence, but human intelligence itself. As a child, I found it strange that nobody could clearly define what intelligence actually was, despite how confidently people claimed to measure it. Some teachers thought I had very little of it. Others thought I has a lot. That curiosity followed me through a career in computing, where I became obsessed with neuroscience, consciousness, and the search for a computational understanding of the brain. For decades, we had no real theory for how intelligence emerged from biology. Then, suddenly, things began to change.

At the exact moment we started uncovering new theories about how the human brain works, we also began creating entirely new forms of intelligence in machines. And surprisingly they are very different. An Artificial neurone is nothing like a biological one.

In the book we dive deep into human brains and modern theory of intelligence. Later we compare this to modern AI and how machines achieve their intelligence.

By comparing human and artificial intelligence side by side, it attempts to answer one of the biggest questions of our time: what actually is intelligence.
