Artificial Intelligence: Critical Concepts in Cognitive Science
Four-volume reference work (over 90 texts • 2,160 pages)
Edited by Ron Chrisley
The scientific field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) began in the 1950s, but the concept of artificial intelligence—the idea of something with mind-like attributes—predates it by centuries.
This historically rich concept has served as a blueprint for research into intelligent machines. It also has far-reaching implications for our understanding of psychology, biology, philosophy, technology, and society.
At a time when artificial intelligence has become central to scientific, economic, and cultural life, understanding the development of this concept is more important than ever.
This reference work provides scholars in both the humanities and the sciences with essential material for charting that development.
The set brings together:
Primary texts from antiquity to the present, including the foundational works that defined the field of AI
Historical accounts, from comprehensive overviews to detailed studies of key periods
Secondary material addressing the intellectual issues and broader implications of artificial intelligence
