Artificial Intelligence is the attempt to
create machines which learn, reason and behave like
humans.
For an
entire decade, Newquist wrote more about artificial
intelligence than anyone else on the planet.
His work was cited by The New York Times, The Wall
Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Business Week, The
Economist and a host of others.
He was a columnist for Computerworld, AI Expert, The
Expert Systems Journal, a contributor to Popular
Mechanics, Newsweek, and the Encarta
Encyclopedia, and publisher of the
AI
TRENDS newlsetter. His work resulted in at
least a million words written on artificial intelligence.
After 10 years, he decided to put all that he had learned
into a book called The
Brain Makers. It was well recieved and is
considered the definitive history of man's attempt to
make thinking machines . . .
"The Brain Makers engagingly tells the story of
artificial intelligence's rise and fall and gradual
redemption, investing it with all the high drama and
unexpected revelations of a celebrity memoir." - Omni
Magazine
"Newquist gives the glory days of artificial intelligence
an official record." - The Boston Globe
"The Brain Makers is a fascinating and engrossing
story with lessons for the entire industry." - The
Washington Times
