The Emergent Mind: How Intelligence Arises in People and Machines
Dec 6. This is a very readable book about neural networks (how the brain works) and how that maps into large language models and artificial intelligence. Both authors are scientists. They produced a nice primer into neural networks and try to map their learning into artificial intelligence. They describe the mapping but also limitations of the mapping. I found the book useful in helping understand where AI is going and the current thinking on neural networks. It is far from the last word but does provide some inspiration and provocation.
