Summary of Amy Webb's The Big Nine

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Artificial intelligence is a system that makes autonomous decisions. The tasks AI performs are similar to those of human intelligence, like recognizing sounds and objects, solving problems, understanding language, and using strategy to meet goals.

#2 The way computers learn is similar to the way we do. They first need to remember and understand, followed by applying knowledge in new situations, analyzing information, and creating original work.

#3 Creativity, the type demonstrated by Amper, is the pinnacle of Bloom’s Taxonomy. It is a learned mechanical process, but it is also humanistic creativity. Amper’s brain is not that different from Beethoven’s brain, made up of organic neurons using data and recognizing patterns inside the container that is his head.

#4 Artificial intelligence is an amalgam of thousands of years of philosophers, mathematicians, scientists, roboticists, artists, and theologians. Their quest is to understand the connection between thinking and containers for thought.
