A selection of 15 books related to artificial intelligence topics.
Shenzhen Translation Bureau is its compilation team, focusing on technology, business, workplace, life and other fields, focusing on introducing new foreign technologies, new perspectives and new trends.
Editor’s note: Currently, both technical experts and business leaders are showing increasing interest in artificial intelligence. Many companies have begun to apply artificial intelligence to workflows and businesses, and the application of artificial intelligence technology has also caused disruptive effects in many industrial fields. However, everyone has some confusion about what artificial intelligence can do, what it should do, and how it can help us. This article is a selection of 15 books related to artificial intelligence topics, which should bring you more thoughts and insights. The original text is from Medium, author Jun Wu, and the original title is “15 Artificial Intelligence Books You Should Read”.
In the past year, we can see that the two major groups of business leaders and technical experts are increasingly interested in artificial intelligence. Many companies have begun to integrate artificial intelligence into their work processes and businesses, while many companies are using artificial intelligence technology to disrupt their respective industries. This has brought them not only change, but also different types of customers. However, leaders, technicians, programmers, and workers from various industries often have misunderstandings about artificial intelligence. They have not fully understood the meaning of artificial intelligence and its application in today’s world.
Some countries and regions have begun to apply artificial intelligence technology in different ways to change their social structure. However, the western world is still in the “dialogue” stage of exploring how to realize artificial intelligence to serve human interests. Everyone has some confusion about what artificial intelligence can do, what it should do, and how it can help us. As the holidays approach, we raise this question here, and everyone can also use the holiday time to think about these issues. I like to inspire more ideas by reading some wonderful articles and books, and this year I set my book list theme to “Artificial Intelligence”. Perhaps in the face of more and more artificial intelligence technologies and applications in work and life, this book list I provide can bring you more thoughts and feelings.
Reviewing the recommended reading list of artificial intelligence

This is a book based on facts and truth. The author is optimistic about the journey humans will experience in the age of artificial intelligence.
The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil
Author Ray Kurzweil is Google ’s chief engineer. He is an outstanding inventor who has invented blind readers, music synthesizers, and speech recognition systems and won many invention awards. He is also a thinker and futurist scholar. Once described by the Wall Street Journal as “tireless genius.” Many technologists in the field of artificial intelligence have read this book and have also read another of his books: The Age of Spiritual Machines. He is studying one of the themes of “fear” for all of us: “Singularity”.
Bill Gates once commented on him: Ray Kurzweil is one of the most authoritative people I know to predict the future of artificial intelligence. His new book is fascinating, and it looks forward to a vast and rapid future for the development of information technology. In such a future, humans will go beyond the limitations of their own biology and change our lives in a way we cannot imagine.
How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought by Ray Kurzweil
If you are going to read a book this holiday season, this is it. This is also one of the most discussed science books in 2019. Author Ray Kurzweil discusses how the brain works, how ideas emerge from the brain, and the power of the human mind. In addition, he also conducted some discussions from the perspectives of morality and emotional intelligence. Read this book and follow the author’s footsteps, “Reversely deconstruct our brain, to understand more precisely how the brain works, and to use the knowledgeTo create smarter machines. “

The Society of Mind, The Society of Mind, From Cells to Artificial Intelligence, An Elegant Interpretation of Human Thinkingin Minsky
As the co-founder of MIT ’s Artificial Intelligence Lab, Marvin Minsky was one of the pioneers in defining and developing “Artificial Intelligence” Father. ” He characterizes human thinking as a miniature “society” composed of small parts that do not have the ability to think, and puts forward a unified theory of thinking in the book, and made the question “how is the thinking?” Revolutionary answer. For anyone exploring intelligence and thinking in the age of artificial intelligence, this book can serve as their guide material.
The Emotion Machine by Marvin Minsky
How does the brain generate new ideas? How does thinking arise and how does it work? If the human brain is regarded as a machine, does this help us to design an advanced artificial intelligence that can understand and think like a human-an emotional machine? In this book Marvin Minsky proposes an attractive new model of how human thinking really works. He believes that machines can be consciously constructed like us humans and can play a supporting role in our thinking process. He regards emotions as another way of thinking, revealing the mysteries of rationality and sensibility in human thinking, leading us to analyze the nature of human thinking. This book can also be seen as a follow-up to the book “Social Society”.

He questioned the ancient notion that “connection is not causality,” and led us to think beyond the “relationship” level of things. In this book, he put forward a different point of view from the current mainstream artificial intelligence theory. He believes that the current artificial intelligence is trapped in the quagmire of probability correlation, neglecting the study of causality, thereby inspiring readers to explore new ways and accept new Find. It can be said that this is a book about real dialogue about the future causality of AI.

Deep Medicine: How Can Artificial Intelligence Realize Humanization of Healthcare Again? ”(Deep Medicine — How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again) by Eric Topol
This is an amazing book about the changes that artificial intelligence can make in the healthcare industry, and these changes will make medicine humane again. Because today’s business leaders are more and more concerned about the work related to “artificial intelligence for the benefit of mankind,” this book is even more worth reading. It can inspire business leaders in different fields, so that they are not limited to the healthcare industry as described in the book, but also think about how to apply AI to other industries to achieve the “more humane” goal.
The author of this book, Dr. Eric Topol, is the director of the Scripps Research and Translation Institute in California and a professor of genomics. He pointed out in his book that the medical problems we are facing are very obvious: expensive and difficult medical treatment, medical problems have also become a manifestation of the problem of wealth differentiation, and artificial intelligence has the potential and hope to improve medical problems.
“The book takes a keen eye on the role and role of computers in medicine … and also puts forward a very convincing point: we should pursue a more human nature with the help of technology rather than technology. Medicine. “―Kirkus Book Review
