NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ā¢ The bold futurist and renowned author of The Singularity Is Near explores the limitless potential of reverse-engineering the human brain.
āThis book is a Rosetta Stone for the mystery of human thought.āāMartine Rothblatt, chairman and CEO, United Therapeutics, and creator of Sirius XM Satellite Radio
āKurzweilās vision of our super-enhanced future is completely sane and calmly reasoned, and his book should nicely smooth the path for the earthās robot overlords, who, it turns out, will be us.āāThe New York Times
In How to Create a Mind, Ray Kurzweil presents a provocative exploration of the most important project in human-machine civilization: reverse-engineering the brain to understand precisely how it works and using that knowledge to create even more intelligent machines.
Kurzweil discusses how the brain functions, how the mind emerges, brain-computer interfaces, and the implications of vastly increasing the powers of our intelligence to address the worldās problems. He also thoughtfully examines emotional and moral intelligence and the origins of consciousness and envisions the radical possibilities of our merging with the intelligent technology we are creating.
Drawing on years of advanced research and cutting-edge inventions in artificial intelligence, How to Create a Mind is an incredible synthesis of neuroscience and technology and provides a road map for the future of human progress.
