About This Item
US: MIT Press Ltd, 1998. Paperback. Very Good. How science fiction's most famous computer has influenced the research and design of intelligent machines. I became operational... in Urbana, Illinois, on January 12, 1997. Inspired by HAL's self-proclaimed birth date, HAL's Legacy reflects upon sc ience fiction's most famous computer and explores the relationship between science fantasy and technological fact. The informative, nontechnical chapt ers written especially for this book describe many of the areas of computer science critical to the design of intelligent machines, discuss whether sc ientists in the 1960s were accurate about the prospects for advancement in their fields, and look at how HAL has influenced scientific research. Contributions by leading scientists look at the technologies that would be critical if we were, as Arthur Clarke and Stanley Kubrick imagined thirty years ago, to try and build HAL in 1997: supercomputers, fault-tolerance and reliability, planning, artificial intelligence, lipreading, speech recognition and synthesis, commonsense reasoning, the ability to recognize and display emotion, and human-machine interaction. A separate chapter by philosopher Daniel Dennett considers the ethical implications of intelligent machines.
