Why Machines Will Never Rule the World - Artificial Intelligence Without Fear

This book's core argument is that an artificial intelligence that could equal or exceed human intelligence is for mathematical reasons impossible. In supporting their claim, the authors marshal evidence from mathematics, physics, computer science, philosophy, linguistics, biology, and anthropology.
