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

#1 We humans are insatiably curious. We have been asking questions since the dawn of history. We’ve especially been asking the big questions about origin and destiny: Where do I come from and where am I going. Their importance is obvious.

#2 There is great interest in building systems that can do all that human intelligence can do, which is artificial general intelligence. Some believe that AGI will surpass human intelligence within a relatively short time, and will function as a god.

#3 The future implications of work on artificial intelligence are not limited to scientists. They affect everyone, and it is important that philosophers, ethicists, theologians, cultural commentators, and artists get involved in the debate.

#4 The term AI was coined in a summer school held at the mathematics department of Dartmouth University in 1956. It is used to describe the intelligent machines that are the goal, as well as the science and technology that are aiming at that goal.

The Euclidian algorithm is a procedure used to find the greatest common divisor of two positive integers. It was first described by Euclid in his manuscript The Elements, written around 300 BC.

#6

AI is used in computer software to sort, filter, and select various pieces of data. It is applied to the design of more energy-efficient buildings, household appliances connected by the Internet of Things, and integrated transport systems.

Reviews for Summary of John C. Lennox's 2084

[thomasdgray · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Utterly incomprehensible. I'm sure the actual book has some merit but the summary is worthless. Don't waste your time on this trash.
