Palgrave Macmillan Cham, 2024. — 170 p. — eBook ISBN 978-3-031-46835-3.Addresses the challenges posed by artificial general intelligence to our understanding of human intelligence
Demonstrates the fundamental limitations of all computational theories of mind
Explains the need to create a theory of mind grounded directly in human experience​While it may appear that generative AI has mastered the mystery of the human mind and released its full power, The Emergence of Mind: Where Technology Ends and We Begin demonstrates the profound and fundamental limitations of the technology and its use as a model of human thinking. In response, the book offers an emergent model of the human mind rooted in our experiences as living, sentient, social and conscious beings. The text explores the nature of meaning in human cognition and the critical importance of the experience of ideas. In so doing, it offers insights into the cultivation of specific generative capacities of the human mind.
