1989 unter dem Titel "The Artificial Intelligence Debate” erstmals erschienen, liegt diese Sammlung von Originalbeiträgen führender Wissenschaftler und Philosophen zum Thema Künstliche Intelligenz nun auch in deutscher Übersetzung vor und definiert besser als jedes Lehrbuch die grundlegenden konzeptuellen und technischen Probleme, von denen dieses Forschungsgebiet heute gekennzeichnet ist. Während der letzten dreißig Jahre hat das Aufheben, das um die Künstliche Intelligenz gemacht wurde, bei weitem die tatsächlich erreichten Ergebnisse übertroffen. In ihren umfassenden, zum Teil provokativen Beiträgen, legen die Autoren dar, warum und wie bestimmte Entdeckungen über das menschliche Gehirn von der Künstliche Intelligenz-Forschung verwendet oder ignoriert worden sind, und inwieweit die Künstliche Intelligenz als Forschungsgebiet zu dem Verständnis der menschlichen Wahrnehmung und des Denkens beigetragen hat.
