The Society of Mind - Marvin Minsky

Physicists explain the whole world and even the whole universe with a few laws, but they don't work for the human mind.The human mind is a complex process."Why do people want to shower in the bathroom when it rains, but they don't want to get wet?" The computer will be puzzled by the question that a 3-year-old child knows.The essence of human thinking is the key to researching artificial intelligence and shaping the most advanced "mental society".

Marvin Minsky, the father of artificial intelligence, believed that "the brain is nothing but a machine made of meat", and that tiny units without thinking in the brain can form various kinds of thinking - consciousness, mental activity, common sense, thinking, intelligence,self, and ultimately form the "unified wisdom".This combination of intelligence is the "mental society".Artificial intelligence is the thing that has ever maximized human capabilities, and human beings are not the end of evolution.

Marvin Minsky, "father of artificial intelligence" and founder of frame theory.In 1956, Marvin Minsky, a computer scientist who initiated the "Dartmouth Conference" with J. McCarthy and proposed the concept of artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence), was awarded the 1969 Turing Award, the first.An artificial intelligence scholar who has won this honor.Subsequently, McCarthy (1971), Simon (H. A. Simon) and Newell (A. Newell. 1975), Feigenbaum (E. A. Feigenbaum) and Raj Reddy (Raj Reddy), 1994) and other 5 artificial intelligence scholars have won awards successively, accounting for nearly 1/6 of the 40 scholars who won the Graph Award by September 2021, which shows the far-reaching influence of artificial intelligence.

The essence of human thinking is the key to researching artificial intelligence and shaping the most advanced "mental society".Marvin Minsky believes that "the human brain is nothing but a machine made of meat", and the tiny units in the brain without thinking can form various kinds of thinking - ritual, mental activity, experimentation, thinking, intelligence, self, and finally form "unity"wisdom".This combination of intelligence is the "mental society".

After reading this book, you will find that after so much painstaking research, we have still made only limited progress.Of course, the torrent of development of the times is rolling forward, and the field of "artificial intelligence" is advancing at a speed that we cannot imagine every day.
