Part I. The AI Wars, 1950 to 2000: Gödel and a foundational objection to AI -- How would we know if a computer was intelligent?

The frame problem -- Part II. Beyond the Al Wars: issues for today: What about consciousness? -- Ethical issues surrounding AI applications --

Summary: "This book surveys the most famous philosophical arguments against building a machine with human-level intelligence. From claims and counter-claims about the ability to implement consciousness, rationality, and meaning to arguments about cognitive architecture, it presents a vivid history of the clash between philosophy and AI. With introductions to each war and further readings, this forward-looking book is packed with fresh insights and supporting material"-- Provided by publisher.
