A Brief History of Intelligence: Why the Evolution of the Brain Holds the Key to the Future of AI

Mind Blowing book..It contains Evolutionary Biology,Neurology and AI

Very nice book. Talks about development of intelligence in living beings.

The book is written in a similar fashion as Sapiens by Harrari. Here the author covers the evolution of intelligence. The book covers types of intelligence from lower life forms all the way to humans. It also explains in depth what makes human brain different from other beings.Human brain is only a scaled up version of a chimpanzee brain, yet we are far more superior in terms of intelligence. The explanations covered in the book was a food for thought for me. It also made me feel how special of a brain we have. This motivates me to make maximum use of it by learning, engaging and taking care of its health in this short lifetime that I have.

Must read for those who want to understand how the human brain works and how it evolved over the early species.Learning how our AI models mimic our brains and how knowing about the brain helps build better AI models will be the cherry on the cake.

This book is best wriitten to understand the evolution of biology and AI in parallel...

of the 100 books I read this year I found this the best read , it details the evolution of brain with minute details over last 3.5 billion years and also compared where AI stands now compared to the brain .I ended up highlighting 50% of the book. The time spent reading this book will be time well spent.

Excellent.

Very nice book
